Honduran legislative election, 1922
A legislative election was held in Honduras in October 1926.
“Early in 1923, Liberal Party of Honduras deputies associated with the Federación Obrera Hondureña (FOH), established in 1921 by Tegucigalpa artisans, introduced legislation that sought to prohibit ‘the importation into the territory of the Republic of negroes of the African race and coolies.’ The bill also called for the banana companies to deport, within a year, ‘the negros and coolies that they have brought into the country’. This 1923 bill, as well as others introduced into Congress in 1924 and 1925, merited the opposition of the banana companies, the British embassy, and the U.S. embassy”.
