M rs H orton, in announcing the pro
posed H ortona hotel, frankly ad
m itted that it was to be a m onum ent
to her success as well as the expression
of a thought for the needs of her race.
"St. Louis offers no facilities to tran si
ent negroes capable of paying for com
fortable hotel accom m odations." she
said. "N either have we a first-class
theater or shop. H o rto na hotel will
supply all these needs and. if success
fully carried to completion, will fulfill
a desire on my part to do som ething
for the lasting good of my people."
