Bill Glover, an Oklahoma Native American, spoke out against discrimination against Native Americans at a vocational guidance institute sponsored by the Tulsa Employers' Association. He said that many Native Americans are held back by poverty and poor health, and that the image of Native Americans as drunken and lazy is unfair. Some of Glover's audience disagreed with him, but others said they had never heard of discrimination against Native Americans until Glover spoke about it.
