Negro Couple Is Target Of Racists Who Thought Their Adopted Baby White SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A Negro couple here last week told how their life became a day-to-day horror after race haters accused them of robbing the cradle of lily-white purity.

T h e couple, Sgt. a n dM r s . H a r vey A . Collins, t w om o n t h s a g o w e r e publicized as having adopted i n G e r m a n y a " w h i t e " child.

Since then they have been t h e targets o f abuse a n d poisonpen letters.

AS A M A T T E R O F RECORD, the couple wants t o point o u t that their adopted child is o f G e r m a n - N e g r o parentage.

D a i l y newspaper accounts here at t h e t i m e o f t h r e e - y e a r - o l d A u g u s t a A n t o i n e t t e C o l l i n sw a s naturalized last N o v . 12, described the little girl as"the white, Germany-born girl they ( t h e Collins) adopted a n d brought t o the U.S." Mrs. Collins emphasized last week "that their baby iso f Negro parentage, a n dw e a r e quite p r o u d o f h e r a n dt h e fact that she i s o fNegro parentage."

SHE SAID T H A T N E W S M E N were n o t told t h e child w a s

w h i t e , that, a s a m a t t e r o f fact, the question o f whether o r n o t she w a s w h i t e w a s never asked.

The reporter apparently assumed the v e r y fair girl w a swhite, a n d wrote h i s feature article around that point.

"We have suffered," M r s . C o l lins said, " a n d a r e still u n d e r going pressure, embarrassment and duress from poison p e n letters."

A representative o f a Texas state agency h a s e v e n called t o inquire i f t h e child w a s white and advised that, under Texas law, the little girl w o u l d b e t a k e n f r o m t h e m , s h e declared.

SOME LETTER WRITERS wanted t ok n o w h o w the Collins w o u l d feel i ft h e girl "wanted t o be w h i t e w h e n s h ei s g r o w n . " Another asked w h y they w a n t ed t o adopt a foreigner rather than a child i n America, saying that "foreigners don't love N e g -

To this, M r s . Collins replied: " I w a sp r o u d t o b e able t o choose t h eo n e baby i nt h e w o r l d I wanted, that suited m y personality. ..1 c a ns a ythat I have been treated better b y some so-called white foreigners than b y some o f my fellow Americans."

S O M E A S K E D , s h e said, i f s h e (Mrs. Collins) w a s conscious o f the difference i n color when they a r e i npublic. S h e said that she i s n o m o r e concerned about that, that w h e n she is w i t h some of h e r o w n sisters a n d b r o t h e r s who are fairer than she.

Mrs. Collins declared that s h e is s u r e t h e r e p o r t e r i n t e n d e d n o harm, h a dn o ulterior motives, but they have "suffered persecution from t h ehands o fso m a n y biased a n d prejudiced people here i n Texas."

Thus, though generations o f white southerners have been raised f r o m infancy b y Negroes, the color b a r falls neatly into place w h e n N e g r o parents a t tempt t o raise w h a t race haters think isa w h i t e child.

This ironic truth w a s never m o r e apparent than i n t h e tragic case o f Sgt. a n dM r s . C o l l i n s , w h o were harrassed unmercifully when they were mistakenly a c cused o fadopting a w h i t e daughter.
