The copy text reflects Latimer’s transcription and changes to typographical errors that were corrected by Eleanor Roosevelt as noted below. The transcript and hand-written changes are reflected in a document that was returned from the White House to the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee with approval of accuracy.
