Letter, Walter A. Plecker, Richmond, to A.T. Shields, Lexington.
Title
Letter, Walter A. Plecker, Richmond, to A.T. Shields, Lexington.
Description
In a letter to A.T. Shields, Walter Plecker asserted that Judge Holt's decision to categorize Atha Sorrells as white despite her Indian heritage had "emboldened" the Rockbridge tribe. Nonetheless, he advised against appealing the Sorrells case to the Supreme Court because the court might rule in her favor.
