Your summary was about as accurate and well balenced as such a short dispatch cold be. The action of the city in abandoning a section of these streets (legally, the streets were not closed, but irrevocably abandoned) was uhfortunate, but seemed to be necessary under the circumstances, As you know, Atlanta is not oly one of the wrld's most progressive cities, but has an enlightened and courageous administration, Oy mayor and bosrd of aldermen have not dome the popular or politically expedient thing in this sit uation, but they have acted with courage according to the dictates of their conscience, If everyone involved can simply see this, the problems will soon be worked out.

He had, himself, tried to go about moving into white sections in a ‘manner that the white people wouldn't be disturbed but that some of the other-negro realtors didn't believe in the same tactics so he sat back and they ‘rent around him and got the gravy while he was sitting back getti_g uiugry.

Text Any textual data included in the document December 23, 1962 Mx. Kaliph Moore Chairman of the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights Atlanta University Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Moore: May L acknowledge receipt of your wire of December iZnd, which reads as follows: “The Students of Atlanta University feel as if you have made a great mistake in supporting the establishment of an Atlanta Wail across Peyton and Marlen Roads. In reply to a request of the All Citizens Committee on Better Citisens Planning we supply 175 pieketers per day for the Westend Business area. We will aise stage several mass demonstrations at the Atianta City Wall with no less than 1500 students. This action will focus the eyes of the worid om the Atlanta City Wall. We do not want Atianta io have this type of publicity. Thereiore we encourage you to remove the Wall ané@ salle the good image of Atianta while there is still time." Piret, this is te advise you that at the request of Mr. Virgil Copeland, President of the Southwest Civic Association, 1 have asked repre- sentatiage of the following four groups to form a dlizens committee to discuss the problems confronting the Peyton-Marlan Read area situation. Mr. Q. V. Williameon has advised me that the Citlsens Committee for Better Planning will repreeent him in his capacity ae Ge-Chairman of the Atlanta Negro Voters League. I would think that any action prior to the deliberations of this committee and its recommendations would be precipitous and harmful to our beat efforts. Second, i would like for the stadente of Atianta University to have full knowledge and acquaint themeelvea with the everail preblem and with ol Mr. Ralph Moore December 23, 1962 the complete record to date which is aa follows; The Peyton-Harian Road problem is the fifty-second area or street to undergooneighber- heed expansion, penetration or encroachment since the firat of this year. The record is flawless insofar aa the protection of the rights of the Negro citizen ia concerned. I am enclosing a lbet of the fifty= one streets on which this problem has been satisfactorily handled to date. I hepe that the students, with their ability to analyze factual conditions, will study carefully this record, and 1 would hope that they would express their complete satisiaction and accord with the record of this administration. i am certain that the matter having been handled se as te protect the rights of all persons im the first fiity-one instances would raise the question of why it is not being handled the same way in the Peyton- Harlan Read instance. The answer, again, can be factual and definite. The Peyton Road incident, consisting mainly of agitation on Fielding Lane, is an artificial, wnnatural condition created by unscrupulous parties, both white and Negro, who have attempted through uncthical, disloyal and fhise misrepresentations to panic the residents of that community. Te prevent this condition, I have previously worked with the Empire Real Estate Board and a citizens committees, composed of the West end Businessmen's Associationsmnad the Empire Real Estate Board. in spite of a previous record of excellent cooperation from these two bedies, it was impossible to stop thie artifical bargaining ef land. May I invite your attention to the fact that the closing of Peyton and Marlan Roads is an inconvenience mostly to white citizens and to very few Negro citizens. it dees not prevent access or egress into aay area of town, nor dows it limit any rights of the individual citizen from purchase or sale, or other fundamental liberties. it merely serves a2 a warning to unscrupulous real esiate dealers that Atlanta will not tolerate under the guise of “race descrimination™ the des- truction of fundamental values among any of its citizens. I would hope that you would study this problem carefally and I would aise assure you that if there ia additional information which you deire, 1 will be glad to supply it. od- Mr. Raiph Moore December 23, 1962 he record as outlined above shows that the rights of all citizens have been protected without question in fifty-one out of Alty-two instances, and, now, you place a question mark by the filty-second. Atlanta's reputation haa been built by these who have carried out the aforegone record. li is my sincere hope that the students of Atlanta University will aot injure this record. Should you ignore the above request and feel that you must picket for the sake of picketing, then be assured that the rights of the individual in picketing will be zealously guarded by the law enforce- ment body of this city. You stated that you plan to stage several mass demonstrations with 1,509 students at the Atlanta City Hall. If, for parposes of national publicity you feel this is abeciutely necessary, and if you will advise me of the time of your arrival, 1 should be giad tc receive you on the City Hall steps. I hope you will inform the students of Atlanta University that Atianta's record is outstanding, and that I hope they will not injure it with any unnecessary or overt action.
