Dear Mayor Allen: !
ss my appieciation
I would like to take this opportunity to e
very fine talk you gave at the SWAP Meeting last Thurs I felt ae
remarks were very appropriate and were exactly what the noobie in that
area needed to hear.
I am a lifelong resident of West End and Cascade Heights, and I mentioned
to Jack Adair recently of my concern for that area. I believe he mentioned
this to you. My concern is not only for Cascade and West End but for the
fact that the people moving out of that area are moving out of the city
of Atlanta, and in a lot of cases out of Fulton County, thinking that by
doing this they will leave the integration problem behind them. I have
attended most of the SWAP Meetings and got involved in a racial problem
in our own church, Audubon Forest Methodist. From my experience in these
two areas, I had an opportunity to discuss this overall problem with a
great number of people in our neighborhood. As I mentioned to Jack, I
intended to get in touch with you to discuss the feelings of the people
in the area, but unfortunately I never got around to it. Apparently,
from the remarks you made you are very aware of the feelings of this area.
It concerns me that so many of the people blame the City Administration
for the problems of Cascade Heights, not only your administration, but
also Bill Hartsfield's. My experiences in this problem go back to the
time when several of my friends were forced to move from the Mozley Park
area. During the recent discussions, I have tried to convince the people
that I have talked to that this has been a natural movement of the negros
from the West Side on into the Southwest section, rather than a deliberate
plan of the City Administration.
It is true that it is much more difficult for a colored family to obtain
a home loan in other parts of Atlanta, and, in my opinion, this is part of

the overall problem we are facing, rather than a deliberate attempt on
the part of the City Administration to establish the Southwest section
as the colored part of town. I think it is incumbent upon us who live
in the Cascade area to publicize and sell the rest of the city on the
fine residential area that we have, in spite of the integration. If
we can hold out long enough for people's prejudice to be worn down and
their thinking changed on this matter, I believe we will have helped to
establish an integrated city, rather than an all negro city as the trend
certainly now seems to be.
Being a native Atlantan, I have grown up with the prejudice against
living in an integrated neighborhood. During the past year, after
meeting the negros moving into Cascade Heights, my thinking has changed.
This has also been true of a number of my friends. There also have been
people moving into the area without this prejudice and others wanting
to live in an integrated neighborhood. I believe these factors coupled
with the, so far, successful integration of Southwest High School can
go a long way toward maintaining a successfully integrated city. We
will need help from the churches, business community, school administra-
tion, and city politicians.
Any attention and help you can give us in this area will be greatly
appreciated. If I can be of any help to you in this regard, please do
not hesitate to call me.
Very truly yours,
W. M. Alexander

th ot the
Zoning Board To Hear Proposals
(See editorial on Page 4)
The members of Southwest Atlantans for
Progress (SWAP) were urged at their meet-
ing last Thursday night, Oct. 12, to oppose
the proposal of the Atlanta-Fulton County
Planning Board, made the day before, to
place approximately 1,200
‘low to mo-
derate-income”’ housing units in the area
between Boulder Park and Cascade Heights.
The West End Business Men’s
Association, similarly, has
passed a resolution which says
“we request and strongly re-
commend that no further public
housing be placed in Southwest
Atlanta until other sections of
our City have taken their pro-
rata share of public housing
units,”?
The Association resolution
further states that ‘‘we believe
there is land available which
can be acquired for public hous-
ing in all portions of the City
of Atlanta, . .we feel thatSouth-
west Atlanta has now reached
a jaturation point in regard to
public housing,”’
Rey. James Coslen, co-
chairman of SWAP, a bi-racial
group trying to stabilize the
integrated West Manor section
of Cascade Ieiglits, opened the
meeting in the Parrish House of
_ the Church of the Incarnation,
Episcopal, on Cascade Road,
and then turned it over to
Robert Haver, his co-chairman,
who brought before the group the
decision of the Planning Board,
The Board approved four pro-
jects containing 1,436 low dnd
moderate-income housing units,
1,256 of which would directly
affect the Southwest area,
The three actions affecting
the Southwest area are;
1) Approval of 650 “turn-
hey”? units on the north side
of Sewell Road, just west of
the Atlanta Coast Line tracks,
The US Department of Housing
and Urban Development has ten-
tatively approved private de-
velopers to build the units, then
turn them over to the Atlanta
Housing Authority for public
se Low Rent Mowsgn GF
housing,
2) Approval of 558 221 (d)
(3) moderate-income units the
east side of Fairburn Road,
north of Sewell Road,
8) ‘Approval of 48 conven-
tional moderate-income units
on the north side of Gordon
Road, west of Adamsville Drive,
Should the Aldermanic Zoning
Committee and the full Alder-
manic Board approve these pro~
posals, there would be a total of
1,700 units of low and moderate-
income housing between Boul-
‘der Park and West Manor,
SWAP members were urged
to attend the Aldermanic Zoning
Commiitee meeting at 2 p.m.,
Thursday, Oct, 19, “at which the
Adamsville Drive proposal
comes up, and the meeting at
2p.m, , Thursday Oct, 26, when
the proposals affecting the
SewellFairburn sites come be-
fore the Committee,
Mrs. Xernona Clayton, sec-
retary of SWAP, suggested that
HUD (Housing ’ and Urban De=
velopment) be contacted to let
them know that the group dis-
approves of such concentration
of low-income units in this
area,
The group gencrally expres-
sed the feeling that they do not
mind having low to moderate-
income housing in the area,
but that they do feel that other
areas of the city should share
the housing.
Mrs, Clayton also said that
SWAP must do some ground
work before the Aldermanic
Zoning Committee meets and
that they must also follow up
their appeal to the committee
so that the Committee does not
deny permission for the loca-
tion of the housing units at the
regular meeting, and then turn
around and approve them in a
meeting generally not known
about, as they did with 500
units already approved in the
Fairburn-Sewell area,
Mrs. Mary Frances Peters
introduced the ladies who par-
ticipated in the panel discus-
sion, ‘A Woman’s Point of
View,’”’ the scheduled program,
The ladies were Miss Susan
Ross, a student of Southwest
High School who has attended
segregated, long-time integra-
ted, and newly-integr ated high
schools,
Mrs, H.Y. Hutcheson, who is
associated with AudubonF orest
Methodist Church and is alsothe
mother of six children, was the
second participant, And Mrs,
Lee Shelton, wife of Dr, Lee
Shelton and the mother of four,
was the third member of the
panel who filled in for Mrs,
William Alexander who was un~
able to attend,
The ladies talked briefly on
the progress and problems of
integration from their own
points of view.
The floor was then opened to
discussion, The open forum,
which lasted approximately an
hour and a half, produced ques-
tions and answers on the school
integration problems, the fears
that both white and Negro mo-
thers might have, and what their

Dear Mayor Allen,
In regard to an editorial appearing in the atlanta
journal September 6th, headed Allanta and housing., We the residents of
the Cascade sewell road section have discussed this same subject very many
times. We can't understand why you and your aldermanic board have seen fit
to push the bulk of negroes to this section. The work going on in West
End is for sure, for the negroes, apartments have been built by the hundreds
for negroes, they have taken the white people's homes a-way from them that
took years to beautify and build.
We understand that the real estate people on the north side have been
instructed nat to sell to negroes, also banks are reluctant to lend negroes
money to buy on the North side. There are no negro projects gping on in
the north side of the city, also no negroes live in Buckhead, Peachtree
road or any of the nice sections of the north side.
This influx to Cascade, West End Sewell section has been influenced
by city goverment. Apparently you do not want them on your side of town
or for neighbors, residents in the Southwest are moving every day.
The purpose of integration was to have negroes move in all sections
of the city, but they are being encouraged to settle in one section thus
causing no integration at all, very soon it willbe all negro.
I am sure with Hank Aarons money he could afford a home in your section,
We have had to put up with the riff r.ff from Washington street and
Capitol ave etc, since the change in that section now with Martin Luther's
church taking over Capitol homes will be more and more negroes.
Would like for yom to read this editorial if you haven't already.
We are very much disturbed as I am sure you would be, if you were a
middle class person trying to live in a decent neighborhood.
It is embarrassing to have curiousity seekers ride in this section to
see the for sale sigms as_t or is one in practically every yard in some
sections of fifty thbusa omes and many high priced homes.
Hoping to have your view on this vhich would make it clearer to
myself and neighbors what will take place.

Dear Mr. Shoenberger: iy
Thank you very much for your lett
I assure you that I commend activities of SWAP and
their efforts to stabilize the Southwest area of the’city in
which they are working.
I have publically on many occasions advocated a National
fair housing Act, and I am glad to reiterate that position.
Every effort is being made to maintain and improve schools
and public services inside the corporate limits of Atlanta.
Iam delighted to commend the SWAP group for what they
are doing and make every effort to see that they secure
full cooperation from the Atlanta city government and the
many civic organizations which can be of help.
From time to time, I will attempt to keep the organization
informed of the many efforts that are being made by the city
and further extend our cooperation.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Mayor:
I am a resident of Southwest Atlanta, and an active particip-
ant in Southwest Atlantans for Progress ("SWAP"), Yesterday I met
with a group including the Community Relations Council. I was asked
by one member, "What can we do to help."
As I am confident that they reflect your desire to foster
activities which can validate and improve Atlanta as a place to live,
I am writing to suggest a possible way in which you could help us do
our part of this job.
A positive letter of support for the direction we are taking
in attempting to stabilize our cummunity as a thoroughly integrated
one would be quite encouraging, especially if permission were granted
to publish the letter through Atlanta news media.
I have no intention of attempting to direct such a letter
should you write one, but offer the following ideas as possible seeds
for your own thinking.
1. Support of the idea of a stabilized community as a starting
point for a stabilized (and integrated) Atlanta.
2+ Open housing agreements or legislation.
3. The maintainance, and even enhancement, of school quality
and of public services in this area,
he A statement of your continued interest in and observation
of what is going on heree
The preceding are by no means exhaustive. Mre Shelton, Mrse
Bullard, or others of your Council may be offered as persons who have
talked with some of us on the spot and would perhpas have politically
appropriate suggestions to make.

Does the law offer John Q. Citizen any protection
whatsoever from unscrupulous real estate operators? Will
Atlanta become another Washington and, if so, who will pay
the taxes?
A case in point is the Cascade Heights area.
Someone, for reasons known only to himself, is approached
by or gets in touch with an operator who sells real estate
primarily to Negroes. A sale is made and the rumors start,
some of them probably planted. People panic and then other
operators zero in on the area and start a flood of letters
(see attached), phone calls and knocks on the door. [It is
a frightening thing to see the reaction of the people. Car-
loads of Negroes cruise the area. One more neighborhood
has received the “kiss of death." When the word gets out,
it is impossible to sell except to Negroes. Check the Red
Bud Lane section and see for yourself.
My neighborhood, a different one from that above,
has just received the kiss that can bring disaster. We
are trying desperately to hold it together. In our case,.
an all-white neighborhood, the sale was made at midnight,
literally, two weeks ago last Saturday.
Most of us move into a particular area because
we like the neighborhood, we know the people, or as a matter
of economics. Some are retired people with limited incomes;
some are middle-aged who, after rearing their children, were
looking forward to a more leisurely life; many are young
couples who have just purchased their first home. In the
latter case, particularly, it has taken all they can rake
and scrape to make the down payment. Now, with their homes
deflated, what are they going to do for money in order to
make a fresh start somewhere else? We, too, should have a
choice in selecting our neighbors.
Why do we not have speculative housing for Negroes
instead of destroying established areas -- or is there more
profit in blockbusting?
I am a real person, but I fear harassment if my
mame gets out. [I can be reached through Mr. Tom Oxnard at
The Weekly Star if anyone desires verification of the above.

Dear Mr. (iis
As a home owner in the Sewell-Cascade area, no doubt you are wondering what
the future of your property holds for you. First, may we say this is NOT
advice from.us to induce you to sell, rent or retain your property. NEITHER
is this letter a solicitation for you to sell or rent through this firm.
We would like to point out that after due deliberation we undertook to be
. of service to property owners of your area when others declined to'do so.
Where others feared to tread we faced the problem and concluded we could
market real estate in your area. Our faith in ourselves has been more than
justified as evidenced by the sale and closing of the following properties
since July 1, 1966. ( Others sold, awaiting closing date. )

We recognize this is not setting the world on fire, but in view of the past
tight money market, we believe this is better than anyone else has done in
your area. We are happy to report the supply of money is becoming available
again and we are anticipating a preat year in real estate sales.
The above information is given for your consideration in the event you are
planning to sell now or at a future date. If so, we would appreciate the
opportunity of discussing the matter with you. For a consultation without
any obligation on your part, call 766-5656.

Dear Sirs:
It is past time for pressure on the Southwest section of Atlanta to be taken off the
home owners. Most of these very fine citizens built homes in this section planning
to live there a lifetime and many have been residents for over twenty years. Their
homes are in the $20,000 to $50,000 range and the neighborhoods are beautifully kept.
From this section comes some of the outstanding citizens of Atlanta and Georgia, but
if city hall continues to ignore the integration, or resegregation, of this one
section of Atlanta it will soon affect the entire city. The neighborhoods will no
longer be integrated; they will be all Negro and the former home owners will have
moved entirely out of Fulton county......as many say they will do if they have to
give up their homes. 7
How many of you have taken the time, or cared enough, to ride out in this lovely section
to see the for sale signs that fill each street? Have you given any thought as to the
far-reaching affect of this fear? For sale signs should be banned from in front of all
homes.
Most residents who would like to stay, even with some integration, do not wish to be the
only white resident on a street and some discussion with both whites and Negroes should
come from city hall. Other areas of Atlanta should be opened to these Negroes seeking
homes in all white neighborhoods.
Pressure tactics are being used by real estate companies and more and more signs are
appearing in front of homes. If the present trend continues, Atlanta will soon be
another Washington, D. C. and the prestige of Atlanta will disappear.
It should be in the interest of all good citizens of Atlanta, who are interested in the
general welfare of Atlanta, to try to help stabilize the Southwest section - Cascade
Heights, West Manor, Audubon Forest, King's Forest, etc.. Some encouragement from the
mayor and councilmen of this city would certainly be most helpful and encouraging to
these citizens struggling under pressure.
If these people do not receive any help from this direction, then the Northside could easily
undergo the same transition in the future and then the feelings and frustrations of the
Southwest citizens will be better understood by others in Atlanta.
This is an urgent matter and we earnestly seek your full cooperation.
Thank you.

They have allegiance to their country. “Among us there are many who abhor war, but if we’re at war, the majority of Negroes are going to support it.” She predicted that the calls of King and Carmichael for Ne- gro youths to ignore the draft “will be largely unanswered ex- cept by people of SNCC and that kind — and they are precious few.” In fact, she added, the na- tion’s record of greatest ad- vances in race relations has oc- .|curred in time of war.

However, all branches are encouraged to meet problems in their own communities. Like the other civil rights spokesmen, Mrs. Hurley doubts that the kind of movement that existed in the earlier 1960s, will return. “THE BIG JOB now is im- plementation of laws.

Negotiations are in pro- gress toward moving into Al- bany.

In the manner that li- quor dealers will build along highways just outside a dry county or state, margarine deal- ers made their goods available near the Wisconsin line. Thrifty housewives nearby drove across and purchased. Those who lived at distances depended on ser- vices that brought the packages in for private sale. The law, which prohibited the manufac- fure or sale of colored oleo and put a tax of 15 cents per pound on any officially imported, be- came archaic and preposterous. Lessened Power As the cities grew, the rural legislative power lessened. It was ended when the federal courts required reapportion- ment to make, as nearly as pos- sible, each voter’s ballot equal to his neighbor’s. A third factor, politically re- Jated to the others, was the loss of farm population. The power of the Midwest farm bloc today is still great.

I was asked by one member, "What can we do to help." As I am confident that they reflect your desire to foster activities which can validate and improve Atlanta as a place to live, I am writing to suggest a possible way in which you could help us do our part of this job. A positive letter of support for the direction we are taking in attempting to stabilize our cummunity as a thoroughly integrated one would be quite encouraging, especially if permission were granted to publish the letter through Atlanta news media. I have no intention of attempting to direct such a letter should you write one, but offer the following ideas as possible seeds for your own thinking. 1. Support of the idea of a stabilized community as a starting point for a stabilized (and integrated) Atlanta. 2+ Open housing agreements or legislation. 3. The maintainance, and even enhancement, of school quality and of public services in this area, he A statement of your continued interest in and observation of what is going on heree The preceding are by no means exhaustive. Mre Shelton, Mrse Bullard, or others of your Council may be offered as persons who have talked with some of us on the spot and would perhpas have politically appropriate suggestions to make.

The West End Business Men’s Association, similarly, has passed a resolution which says “we request and strongly re- commend that no further public housing be placed in Southwest Atlanta until other sections of our City have taken their pro- rata share of public housing units,”? The Association resolution further states that ‘‘we believe there is land available which can be acquired for public hous- ing in all portions of the City of Atlanta, . .we feel thatSouth- west Atlanta has now reached a jaturation point in regard to public housing,”’ Rey. James Coslen, co- chairman of SWAP, a bi-racial group trying to stabilize the integrated West Manor section of Cascade Ieiglits, opened the meeting in the Parrish House of _ the Church of the Incarnation, Episcopal, on Cascade Road, and then turned it over to Robert Haver, his co-chairman, who brought before the group the decision of the Planning Board, The Board approved four pro- jects containing 1,436 low dnd moderate-income housing units, 1,256 of which would directly affect the Southwest area, The three actions affecting the Southwest area are; 1) Approval of 650 “turn- hey”? units on the north side of Sewell Road, just west of the Atlanta Coast Line tracks, The US Department of Housing and Urban Development has ten- tatively approved private de- velopers to build the units, then turn them over to the Atlanta Housing Authority for public se Low Rent Mowsgn GF housing, 2) Approval of 558 221 (d) (3) moderate-income units the east side of Fairburn Road, north of Sewell Road, 8) ‘Approval of 48 conven- tional moderate-income units on the north side of Gordon Road, west of Adamsville Drive, Should the Aldermanic Zoning Committee and the full Alder- manic Board approve these pro~ posals, there would be a total of 1,700 units of low and moderate- income housing between Boul- ‘der Park and West Manor, SWAP members were urged to attend the Aldermanic Zoning Commiitee meeting at 2 p.m., Thursday, Oct, 19, “at which the Adamsville Drive proposal comes up, and the meeting at 2p.m, , Thursday Oct, 26, when the proposals affecting the SewellFairburn sites come be- fore the Committee, Mrs. Xernona Clayton, sec- retary of SWAP, suggested that HUD (Housing ’ and Urban De= velopment) be contacted to let them know that the group dis- approves of such concentration of low-income units in this area, The group gencrally expres- sed the feeling that they do not mind having low to moderate- income housing in the area, but that they do feel that other areas of the city should share the housing. Mrs, Clayton also said that SWAP must do some ground work before the Aldermanic Zoning Committee meets and that they must also follow up their appeal to the committee so that the Committee does not deny permission for the loca- tion of the housing units at the regular meeting, and then turn around and approve them in a meeting generally not known about, as they did with 500 units already approved in the Fairburn-Sewell area, Mrs. Mary Frances Peters introduced the ladies who par- ticipated in the panel discus- sion, ‘A Woman’s Point of View,’”’ the scheduled program, The ladies were Miss Susan Ross, a student of Southwest High School who has attended segregated, long-time integra- ted, and newly-integr ated high schools, Mrs, H.Y.

Dear Mayor Allen, In regard to an editorial appearing in the atlanta journal September 6th, headed Allanta and housing., We the residents of the Cascade sewell road section have discussed this same subject very many times. We can't understand why you and your aldermanic board have seen fit to push the bulk of negroes to this section. The work going on in West End is for sure, for the negroes, apartments have been built by the hundreds for negroes, they have taken the white people's homes a-way from them that took years to beautify and build. We understand that the real estate people on the north side have been instructed nat to sell to negroes, also banks are reluctant to lend negroes money to buy on the North side. There are no negro projects gping on in the north side of the city, also no negroes live in Buckhead, Peachtree road or any of the nice sections of the north side. This influx to Cascade, West End Sewell section has been influenced by city goverment. Apparently you do not want them on your side of town or for neighbors, residents in the Southwest are moving every day. The purpose of integration was to have negroes move in all sections of the city, but they are being encouraged to settle in one section thus causing no integration at all, very soon it willbe all negro. I am sure with Hank Aarons money he could afford a home in your section, We have had to put up with the riff r.ff from Washington street and Capitol ave etc, since the change in that section now with Martin Luther's church taking over Capitol homes will be more and more negroes. Would like for yom to read this editorial if you haven't already. We are very much disturbed as I am sure you would be, if you were a middle class person trying to live in a decent neighborhood. It is embarrassing to have curiousity seekers ride in this section to see the for sale sigms as_t or is one in practically every yard in some sections of fifty thbusa omes and many high priced homes. Hoping to have your view on this vhich would make it clearer to myself and neighbors what will take place. Sincerely Mrs. John C. Hoke g.W 1682 Centra Villa Brive Atlanta Georgia eae ae Te vs Gus

- Text: EDITORIALS 18 Atlanta and Housing MAYOR IVAN Allen’s effort to replace 17,008 slum housing units with good low - cost units has run into near - sightedness in the Board of Aldermen. It also is being mired in old discriminatory practices by construction, sales, rental and lending institutions in the housing field. More and more it is becoming evident that Atlanta must tackle its housing problems as a whole. If nothing else indicates that, then what is happening in Milwaukee should. Milwaukee is having demonstrations, which sometimes are breaking into violence, because it has not faced up to housing discrimination. Louisville not long ago had a serious period of deadlock and unrest for the same reason. Atlanta can- not avoid this unless it faces the problem. me * * THE MAYOR’S “CRASH” program on housing is directed not toward the discrimina- tion problem but simply toward the shortage of units. Giving this No. 1 priority in the city’s affairs last November, he set a goal of 16,800 low-cost units by 1971. Within that goal was an interim target of 9,800 units dur- ing 1967 and 1968. At first the response appeared to be good. By May, the mayor’s Housing Resources Com- mittee reported that 7,264 units were “in sight,” with more than half of these in the “firm” category and the rest marked “prob- able.” ae * * BUT EVEN THEN THE housing committee was cautious. It said that there was “little reason to assume an optimistic attitude toward future efforts,” and added: ‘‘At this time com- binations of federal policies, zoning problems, land costs, code requirements and general un- certainty pertaining to the program have se- | ---1- 99 Zi I-€¢ = os - ‘Bunured Asvo Gsey 0g. |. “opes8 uns 3LO in | 3% AV&UL pub anni a3110¥8 ONI wi-te opseld |Z] X 6 210UL SPOT

Board of Aldermen
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Sirs:
It is past time for pressure on the Southwest section of Atlanta to be taken off the
home owners. Most of these very fine citizens built homes in this section planning
to live there a lifetime and many have been residents for over twenty years. Their
homes are in the $20,000 to $50,000 range and the neighborhoods are beautifully kept.
From this section comes some of the outstanding citizens of Atlanta and Georgia, but
if city hall continues to ignore the integration, or resegregation, of this one
section of Atlanta it will soon affect the entire city. The neighborhoods will no
longer be integrated; they will be all Negro and the former home owners will have
moved entirely out of Fulton county......as many say they will do if they have to
give up their homes. 7
How many of you have taken the time, or cared enough, to ride out in this lovely section
to see the for sale signs that fill each street? Have you given any thought as to the
far-reaching affect of this fear? For sale signs should be banned from in front of all
homes.
Most residents who would like to stay, even with some integration, do not wish to be the
only white resident on a street and some discussion with both whites and Negroes should
come from city hall. Other areas of Atlanta should be opened to these Negroes seeking
homes in all white neighborhoods.
Pressure tactics are being used by real estate companies and more and more signs are
appearing in front of homes. If the present trend continues, Atlanta will soon be
another Washington, D. C. and the prestige of Atlanta will disappear.
It should be in the interest of all good citizens of Atlanta, who are interested in the
general welfare of Atlanta, to try to help stabilize the Southwest section - Cascade
Heights, West Manor, Audubon Forest, King's Forest, etc.. Some encouragement from the
mayor and councilmen of this city would certainly be most helpful and encouraging to
these citizens struggling under pressure.
If these people do not receive any help from this direction, then the Northside could easily
undergo the same transition in the future and then the feelings and frustrations of the
Southwest citizens will be better understood by others in Atlanta.
This is an urgent matter and we earnestly seek your full cooperation.
Thank you.

- Text: May 22, 1967 Does the law offer John Q. Citizen any protection whatsoever from unscrupulous real estate operators? Will Atlanta become another Washington and, if so, who will pay the taxes? A case in point is the Cascade Heights area. Someone, for reasons known only to himself, is approached by or gets in touch with an operator who sells real estate primarily to Negroes. A sale is made and the rumors start, some of them probably planted. People panic and then other operators zero in on the area and start a flood of letters (see attached), phone calls and knocks on the door. [It is a frightening thing to see the reaction of the people. Car- loads of Negroes cruise the area. One more neighborhood has received the “kiss of death." When the word gets out, it is impossible to sell except to Negroes. Check the Red Bud Lane section and see for yourself. My neighborhood, a different one from that above, has just received the kiss that can bring disaster. We are trying desperately to hold it together. In our case,. an all-white neighborhood, the sale was made at midnight, literally, two weeks ago last Saturday. Most of us move into a particular area because we like the neighborhood, we know the people, or as a matter of economics. Some are retired people with limited incomes; some are middle-aged who, after rearing their children, were looking forward to a more leisurely life; many are young couples who have just purchased their first home. In the latter case, particularly, it has taken all they can rake and scrape to make the down payment. Now, with their homes deflated, what are they going to do for money in order to make a fresh start somewhere else? We, too, should have a choice in selecting our neighbors. Why do we not have speculative housing for Negroes instead of destroying established areas -- or is there more profit in blockbusting? I am a real person, but I fear harassment if my mame gets out. [I can be reached through Mr. Tom Oxnard at The Weekly Star if anyone desires verification of the above.
