Adam's Mark Hotel -- Organization of American Historians



SAA President Hickerson's statement (re holding the annual meeting of SAA at
the Adam's-Mark in Denver) noted that the Organization of American
Historians had decided to proceed with its plans to hold its conference at
the Adam's-Mark.

On February 9, 2000, The New York Times published an article stating that
OAH no longer has that position, and was in the process of considering
whether to proceed with their meeting if the civil rights litigation is not
settled.

The article discussed some of the allegations against the hotel chain -- it
is alleged that the chain had a nationwide practice of requiring minority
guests to pay higher room rates.
