I am writing to Glen Echo Amusement Park. I chose this position because of the discrimination towards Clifton Davis because of his race. Your establishment should allow Clifton Davis to participate in the actions held at Glen Echo Amusement Park because of the inequality you are allowing to appear when you deny his ability of participation. This is unjust because of the contradictions to the Declaration of Independence. I realize that you may consider the African American race to be a lower in standard and class, I also realize the stereotyped African American influence that is not wanted in your business, however The Declaration of Independence says ,”... all men are created equal with unalienable rights …,” and though this doesn’t seem…
