Sedwick Place Lost NO NEGRO TO BE APPOINTED TO SEDWICK'S PLACE, REPORT By James Brown Last week the Leader made known the fact that C. W. Sedwick. Supervisor of Negro Recreation has vacated the position on the account of political agitation and pressure. Saturday morning the Council Journal published the fact that Sedwick was removed from the post by the Director of Welfare, Dr. K. P. Vinsel. The same paper also stated that it was not director Vinsel's intention to appoint another supervisor and that the seven park assistants under Sedwick work would be revised. The removal of Sedwick came after the agitation of Negro democrats and revised republicans who, tho unqualified for the position got job hungry after the election. The job of handling Negro recreation purely belongs to a Negro and the fact that Vinsel does not intend to appoint another for the position is quite a shock to the democratic job seekers.
