Dear Mr. Mayor,
I hand you a clipping from today's conservative DALLAS MORNING
NEWS .. a story from theAtlanta Bureau of The Associated Press,
This is another infamous Wall, almost as disgraceful, at least
in principle, as the ow slicing through Berlin.
How cockeyed can you people get, in Georgiat How long do you
really believe that you're going to keep Negroes from their rightful
civil rights in these desperate days?!
To begin with, your lousy barrier will crash when the Courts
have time to act, likea box of tinder. You are making a laughing-
stock of the American Dream and the pretensions of free Americans
in the far reaches of the earth, This new segregation WALL was dis-
cussed for over an hour on KRL D, radio, Dallas yesterday afternoon
in the program COMMENT and if ever Georgians were rediculed, it was
then, and properly 30, It was a great radio forum progran,
I'n a whitebusinessman and I despise the institution of second
class citizenship you are determined to perytuate for Negroes in
Atlanta, But your objective is doomed tofm ultimate failure. It
is just a matter of time, Meantime, shame on all ofyou.
I showed a house last night to a wonderful couple, a young
professional man and his wife, now living IN ATLANTA, They plan
to move to Dallas in February. They aresick of Atlanta's racial
policies. Both are highly educated Negroes and this man is ina
profession that is desparately needed not only in your city but in
most great cities of this blighted land! Wewelcome him to Dallas
where, increasingly, Negroes are regarded as equal to white citizens
and are given recognition, as such,
Yourare giving wonderful aid and comfort to the Communists who
will gleefully hold up to all the world their charge, and documenta
tion of it, that we're still largely giving only lip service to our
professed institutions of freedom and Liberty and equality for all.

Dear Mr . Mayor :
I n a way the matter I am referring to is none of my business, but in
another way I feel a responsibility because I am a citizen of Greater Atlanta
and have been working in Georgia since January 1929 in the interest of Christian citizenship with the youth of all races . Further , I am advised that my
l eadership of the l aymen 1 s committee whic~ developed the Laymen 1 s Manifest o
in connection with the desegration of Atlanta Schools.which took considerable
time, was definitely helpful.
Mrs , Rohrer and I deeply regret the fact that a barricade was built
across Peyton ?.oad, knowing there was marked resistanc especially from one
group , and that before the objecting group was asked to confer about it . We
are convinc d that any fair minded person would admit that such procedure is
unfair- slap down the opponent and then tell him, let ' s talk about it . Why
not talk first?
If only there ere some way that the barrica~ could disappear into
thin air, conference bet een the two groups immediately concerned could proceed On
much more amicable basis than can be possible with it remaining up
unless the objecting group possesses much more~hristian forebearance and consideration than is possessed by most of us .
Why the haste?
We hope and pray you and your associates will find ways to solve the
difficulty without further offending or humiliating the objecting group.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
As one of your long time admirers and supporters, as well as a
proud citizen of Atlanta for some 50 years, I feel it incumbent
upon me to drop you a note concerning Atlanta's "Image" which I
found on a recent trip to Florida from which I returned on New
Year 1 s Day. I was there at the time the National radio and
television connnentators reported on the "Buffer Wall" set up in
Atlanta.
Wh ile I realize that my information concerning the events which
lead to this action come only from newspaper reports, and while
making no claims to knowing what is best in solving this and
other similar problems in race relations, I can report without
equivocation that this action has caused the "Image" of Atl anta
to suffer enormously in the minds of the people with 'Whom I came
in contact during a ten day period.
For the first time in a great many years I fo und myself on the
defensive with relationship to actions of "my town" and I mus t
say I found it very unpleasant. While I have not always been able
to feel proud of the actions of our State Government, I have not
found it necessary to "explain", with embarrassment, action that
our "C ity Fathers" have taken. I have always in the past felt that
the spirit was positive; a spirit where progress was being made.
In this situation, I must say that whatever the mer its of the
actiori taken, the action itself appears to me a negative one and
not in keeping with the spirit so often pronounced by our beloved
Mayor Emeritus, 11 Bill" Hartsfield: 11 We don 1 t have time to hate in
Atlanta - - - We 1re too busy making progress " .
I trust this letter wil l be received in the spirit in which it is
being written - that of sincere concern, because of a deep love
for Atlanta, its history and its f uture.
My best wishes to you for a healthy, happy and progressive 1963.
Sincer~ly and 2

Dear Mayor Allen :
Thank you mos t sincerely f or the recent ac tion which you
t ook in blocking c ertain s treets in s outhwes t Atlanta t o
s erve a s a 11buffer" between the negroes and whites .
For quite some time the negroes have been a liability and
nuisance to the City of Atlanta . However, unfortunately, due
to the steady increase of their population and the ability of
some groups of people to 19purchase" their vote and other
groups to make a dec ision for each and every one of them,
their political strength throughout Georgia is becoming more
and more a burden upon our society. To this end, the future
for us not only means ultimate deterioration of the breeding
of our own white race, but it means that the negro leaders
today are affecting National politics, and in the future will
gain control over the white race. I feel strongly about this,
in view of the number situation, whereby the negroes are
outnumbering whites in many areas of our country. I think a
study should be made in every State, in every City to
determine the percentage of negroes in comparison to the whites.
The percentage so far as Atlanta is concerned will probably
surprise us. Naturally, this enables those who seek office to
have the benefit of this vote. The only answer that I can
think of is to continue to extend the city limits of Atlanta
so as to include more white citizens' votes, in view of the
fact that the white population is being forced into the
suburbs.
�rr -Page 2
Also, I think it would be a good idea to select a certain
area of the City of Atlanta and "zone", so to speak, it
colored. This would mean that the negro could not try to
integrate the white sect i ons. If they would be satis fied
with one section of town, this would be fine - however, as
you are aware, they wish to acquire only one ot.· two houses
in each section, so as to cause more turmoil.
I think the politicians of this City and of Georgia should
begin to think of the future; that is, the problem which we
are going to have with the overpopulation negro situation.
The negro who contributes nothing to society, culture or
our economy, is gaining steadfast control in politics and
our personal lives. It is not only our task to fight today's
problems, but to look ahead and see what we can do about the
future problem of the negroes and how they will affect the
nation. The breed itself has cast a burden upon our taxes,
and integration will certainly cause our own white race to
fall. I also think it would be interesting to know how many
negroes pass the white barrier every year .
I am sure a study of the negro situation would be expensive
fo r A~ranta, and it should be done on a national level. I
think a committee of the best educators - scientist, a
historian, financial experts, economist, etc . should be
appointed to make a study of the problem and to come up with
a solution. Surely, the government should understand that
one ruling cannot possibly suit itself to certain locations.
This committee should be the Justices of the Supreme Court that is, not a committee of legal representatives, but a
committee of educators who are studying our problem and who
have knowledge of the history of this country. In time, the
negro situation is enough to cause more than turmoil in our
country, more than opportunity for foreign interference, but
the breed speaks for itself - actionwise -, and revolution
could be the future of this country.
These are my feelings, and why I think you, a leader and
politician, have certainly taken a firm stand in this one
City problem to show those of us who are not to be called
segregationists (that is not the word), but rather those of
us who work hard to improve ourselves and to contribute a
little something towards the improvement of mankind, leaving
something of ourselves which will be an asset to life itself ,
�Page 3
and never forgetting that our children will be left after us
to seek an answer to the problems which have existed during
our own lifetime. Surely our purpose and debt to life is
not to live richly - but to live well.
Thank you for showing us that you are working "for" the
improvements necessary towards maintaining justice in this
area.
Yours very truly,

January 7, 1963
Thank you most sincerely for the recent action which you
took in blocking certain streets in southwest Atlanta to
serve as a "buffer" between the negroes and whites.
For quite some time the negroes have been a Liability and
nuisance to the City of Atlanta.
However, unfortunately, due
to the steady increase of their population and the ability of
some groups of people to "purchase" their vote and other
groups to make a decision for each and every one of them,
their political strength throughout Georgia is becoming more
and more a burden upon our society.
To this end, the future
for us not only means ultimate deterioration of the breeding
of our own white race, but it means that the negro leaders
today are affecting National politics, and in the future will
gain control over the white race.
I feel strongly about this,
in view of the number situation, whereby the negroes are
outnumbering whites in many areas of our country.
I think a
study should be made in every State, in every City to
determine the percentage of negroes in comparison to the whites.
The percentage so far as Atlanta is concerned will probably
surprise us.
Naturally, this enables those who seek office to
have the benefit of this vote.
The only answer that I can
think of is to continue to extend the city limits of Atlanta
so as to include more white citizens’ votes, in view of the
fact that the white population is being forced into the

Honorable Ivan Allen: Jr.
Mayor City of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta 3: Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
During the recent campaign for Mayor of the City of Atlanta, the
only signs I observed in the Cascade and Audubon Forest Subdivisions
in support of your candidacy: were in my front yard and that of my
good friend and neighbor, Bill Floyd. Today, I bel ieve there would
be a solid wall of signs supporting you in any future political
aspiration you might undertake.
The entire Southwest section of Atlanta is well aware of your
courage, and that of the Aldermatic Boards in approving the erection of the barricades on Peyton and Harlan Roads . While this may
not be the ultimate answer in saving our homes: and one of the
finest sections of Atlanta from block busting tactics: it seems
the only solution at this time.
I express the sentiments of every resident of our community, when I
convey a most heartfelt THANK YOU for your interest: and the stand
you have taken in our behalf.
Let me wish for you a New Year of good health and even greater accomplishments in your desire to see Atlanta grow and prosper in an
atmosphere of pride and security for all citizens.
