EMMERICH AOMINIST R ATOR September 12, 1966 CONFIDENTIAL Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Dan: A committee called on me this morning along with representatives from one of our projects suggesting ways in which our city might help quieten our people. Rev. Albert R. Dreisbach, Jr. and a young Negro Baptist preacher were the ones that did most o f the talking. The first thing they said probably the Mayor should do is to quit playing the part of a hero. They are afraid he might be hurt and it could cause a real riot. They suggested that the Mayor quit telling the m about our great city and what we hope to accomplish. This calls for a high degree of reasoning on their part and at the present the people are acting from emotional upset and fright . They said the Mayor s hould stop calling on the Summit Leadership and several l eaders such a _s Re v. Borders a nd Rev. King, Sr. He claims the young people are not impressed and assume they are speaking for the white people . They further sugges t e d that the police try to be less aggressi v e. �Mr. Sweat -2- September 12, 1966 They also wanted to know why the Georgia Baptist Hospital was not used to help the boys in trouble. They also suggested the Mayor quit blaming all of this on SNCC as there are a lot of people that also dislike SNCC that are emotionally involved and the more he persecutes SNCC at this time the more these people will come to the aid of SNCC. At one time they even suggested that they wished Carmichael was out of jail. One of the main ·stories they were fussing about was that two Grady ambulances came to the rescue of the police but almost ignored the Negroes that had been shot. The nex t thing they pointed out is that the Mayor has not e xpressed great concern about the second Negro that is wounded. This is what is bothering the community. Some think he has died. Frankly , these are things that most anyone could tell y ou, however, when I pressed them for positive things they could only suggest five ideas which they think may work. 1. Have the Mayor report often b y TV, radio and newspaper on his concern for the second wounded Ne gro. Give as much proo f as possible that he is still doing well, etc. 2. Have the May or make himsel f available for some of the members to come in and gripe to him . They feel at this time some of these people need to ventilate (?) on t h ei r own . It would only mean the Mayor would listen to some o f these peop l e and really let th e m te l l t he t h e sto ry . 3. Have t he May or i n vestigate why th e ambul ances did n ot a rri ve to pick up t he Negro b o ys (i f t hi s is t r ue) . 4. Try t o p ick up some quick succes s s t o ri es o f t h i ng s that are b e i n g ac complished right n ow . 5. Have repo rts come o u t o ft e n o n the det e ctives e fforts on trying t o find the murderers . Let it b e known by all the pre ss media that eve ry effo rt is being made . �Mr. Sweat -3- September 12, 1966 I realize there is not a thing said here that you are not aware of already, but since this was the consensus of the group I thought I would send it on to you. Under separate letter I am giving you a report on some of the things we are now doing. Sincerely yours, C. O. Emmerich �MEMORANDUM September 14, 1966 TO: Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison FROM: C. O. Emmerich, Executive Administrator, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.

We will probably hold a meeting between 5 and 6 this afternoon with our project directors and Chairman of all our local advisory committees with the hope we can find out from them what we might do. If all this works satisfactorily I might want to have a Board meeting tomorrow and then present the City with a series of project requests which the Mayor might want to make to Mr. Sargent Shriver through our local EOA committee. We feel this might ·give us a chance to get sufficient funds to do some of the things which might help the Mayor in a big way. I will keep you posted as we move along.

They were pleased with the Mayor' s actions but were rather vo cal in their criticism of the police . They did not connect the outbreak with our organizat ion or the efforts being made to help b uild a better Atlanta. If y ou will review the following s ugge stions whi c h were made over and over again, I am convinc e d :re·, ,,,.:_ 1.. 1 als o recognize that the grass . root leadersh i p a s w2 ... ... as t . . e Surnmi t Leadership was trying to advise how to stop the in ci den t and not to cure long-range needs. Recommendation s for E ergeney Actio 1. A number of y outh i n th e Boul evard area d o not approve of some o f the methods being used to call attention to grievan ces , wh ich have resu l ted in violence. Accordingly, they have organized t hemsel ves into the Boulevard Northeast Youth Counci l and would like to me€ t with some responsible City o fficials to discuss t hese gr ievances. 2. Their immediate concern is i n regard t o recreation. Succ esses evidenced . by the Summer Re c r eation Program and Playlots have i n s pired them to seek a ction . Sever al vacant l ot s o n Bou levard offer poss i bil ities o f be ing us ed for such pro grams which s h ould include faciliti es for dances , games and other types of entertainment. 3. There is considerable concern al so a bout funeral a rrangements f or ~ ulet Varner, Jr. , t he y oun g man who was k illed. The y.:::,-:.;;.~1.9 people feel st r o ngly that the public o f fic ials, as well a s the community, s houl~ h ave an opportunity to join the family of the deceased i n a mutual expressi o n of grie f . 4. The positio n o f the family , e specially the deceased y outh's mother, i n being abl e to provide an appropriate burial is in questio n and the interest t aken in. this matte-r is of importance. 5. Th e me mbers of the Youth Council· would lik e to have badg es t o pin on new members and handbills to pass out which wou l d show their interest in non-v i o l ence a nd g ood human relations. �I. -- ,I Mr. Jordan -3- _September 1 4 , 1966 6. It is recommended that integrated police squad cars be used in the area. 7. There should be an investigation of t he Grady Hosp i ta l ambulance service wh ich is reported to have failed to pick up the two Negro y ouths at first but to ok the white policeman. The results of t he investigation should be publicized. 8. Questions are also bJi ng raised a s to why t h e doors of the Georgia Baptist Hospital,wh ich is nearby, were not opened to the Negro victims of t he S aturday n ight shooting. 9. Th ere are also q ue stions as to why there are n o reports on the condition o f the se c ond youth , the y oung man who was shot on Capito l Avenue and continued announ c ements and steps taken to bring about justice in both cas e s. The arrests o f suspect s hav e less ened the tension greatly and especially the fr equent and wide - spread illewscasts in regard thereto. I It took a great deal of digging f o r our local leadership to c ome up with l o ng- range corrective measures. Basi cally they made few emergency r e commendat ions that have not already been di scussed many times by the lo cal adv iso ry commi·c.tees, the Citi zens Centr al Adv isory Council and t he EOA Board. However, it was plain that they stil l believe that their long-range answer to Atlanta's problem is to bu i ld a great city which wil l give much effo rt to accompli sh th e f ollowi ng. 1. coop erat ion o f all majo r employers to bLild a ci ty whe re equal employment opportuni tie s are a matt er of normal c ou rse where every citizen ma y adv ance i n ac cordanc e with his e du c ation, training , experi en ce a n d ability. It wa s clear in every meeting th at a dequ ate jobs and job opportunities were conside r ed probably t h e most important recommendati o ns made. 2. That the number and quality o f job training courses be increa s ed s o that every u nemployed pe rson will have the op po rtu n ity for advancemen t a nd for a good job. 3.

Emmeri c h COE : aw �September 13, 1966 Ralph Long, Principal of the Wesley Avenue Sch.ool, called and suggested that someone get in touch with the school principals at Howard High, Forrest, North Avenue and John Hope and get them and the c o aches and others to talk to the students. He said that the s e are the on ly p e ople that can r e ach the group we are trying to reach and that the Summit Leadership, although they are good men, do not represent these people and that the students and others involved in the riots w ould not listen to the Summit Leadership group. �\~ September 13, 1966 Edward Moody called. I located him at Eliza Paschall's office. He wanted the Mayor to call a meeting immediately with department heads and the Mechanicsville Civic Leag_ie and tell the department heads and Housing Authority the things that they had to do immediately. He said they were going to start a campaign to get the McDaniel Housing Project built. They are going to start complaining to the press. He said they object to the Mayor meeting with the Summit group - that they never heard of what went on in the meetings and that the Summit Leadership certainly didn't represent them in M e chanicsville. �September 12, 1966 Dean Tucker 526-6344 1. Mayor meeting with wrong people 2. Got bondsmen - boys who made it out 3. One problem - police - community relations - committee to hear police brutality �September 12, 1966 Arlie Schardt had two observations: 1. Mayor will be a fool if he doesn't ban all cameras in the area - especially TV - - the news coverage is 11 egging 11 the people on and exciting them. He and other reporters (he is sure) would be thankful for being banned - danger involved, etc. However, they feel they must go in and cover the story as long as they have not been banned. 2. Mayor _is in increasing danger. According to the news people, this week is really going to be a bad week. One reason is because Martin Luther King is in town. He is holding a meeting tonight and they feel this could be dangerous simply because of the number of people involved. They feel if the Mayor could offer him some way to save face without demonstrating this would help. He needs an out without being labeled Uncle Tom 11 • The 11 grass rooters made the following observations: 1. They admire the Mayor for going to the scene . 2. The Mayor's psychology would be much bette r if he would go there and just liste n to the people and let them enume rate their problems. They say he talks to the people like a step father looking down his nose. He doesn't talk to them like they are humans . He was very badly criticized for leaving Foote Street Church yesterday befor e the people could talk to him . They say he said what he had to say and they would not stay and hear them, sayin g 11 he had to go - he was a very busy man and had things to do 11 • 3.

EMMERICH AOMINIST R ATOR September 12, 1966 CONFIDENTIAL Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Dan: A committee called on me this morning along with representatives from one of our projects suggesting ways in which our city might help quieten our people. Rev. Albert R. Dreisbach, Jr. and a young Negro Baptist preacher were the ones that did most o f the talking. The first thing they said probably the Mayor should do is to quit playing the part of a hero. They are afraid he might be hurt and it could cause a real riot. They suggested that the Mayor quit telling the m about our great city and what we hope to accomplish. This calls for a high degree of reasoning on their part and at the present the people are acting from emotional upset and fright . They said the Mayor s hould stop calling on the Summit Leadership and several l eaders such a _s Re v. Borders a nd Rev. King, Sr. He claims the young people are not impressed and assume they are speaking for the white people . They further sugges t e d that the police try to be less aggressi v e. �Mr. Sweat -2- September 12, 1966 They also wanted to know why the Georgia Baptist Hospital was not used to help the boys in trouble. They also suggested the Mayor quit blaming all of this on SNCC as there are a lot of people that also dislike SNCC that are emotionally involved and the more he persecutes SNCC at this time the more these people will come to the aid of SNCC. At one time they even suggested that they wished Carmichael was out of jail. One of the main ·stories they were fussing about was that two Grady ambulances came to the rescue of the police but almost ignored the Negroes that had been shot. The nex t thing they pointed out is that the Mayor has not e xpressed great concern about the second Negro that is wounded. This is what is bothering the community. Some think he has died. Frankly , these are things that most anyone could tell y ou, however, when I pressed them for positive things they could only suggest five ideas which they think may work. 1. Have the Mayor report often b y TV, radio and newspaper on his concern for the second wounded Ne gro. Give as much proo f as possible that he is still doing well, etc. 2. Have the May or make himsel f available for some of the members to come in and gripe to him . They feel at this time some of these people need to ventilate (?) on t h ei r own . It would only mean the Mayor would listen to some o f these peop l e and really let th e m te l l t he t h e sto ry . 3. Have t he May or i n vestigate why th e ambul ances did n ot a rri ve to pick up t he Negro b o ys (i f t hi s is t r ue) . 4. Try t o p ick up some quick succes s s t o ri es o f t h i ng s that are b e i n g ac complished right n ow . 5. Have repo rts come o u t o ft e n o n the det e ctives e fforts on trying t o find the murderers . Let it b e known by all the pre ss media that eve ry effo rt is being made . �Mr. Sweat -3- September 12, 1966 I realize there is not a thing said here that you are not aware of already, but since this was the consensus of the group I thought I would send it on to you. Under separate letter I am giving you a report on some of the things we are now doing. Sincerely yours, C. O. Emmerich �MEMORANDUM September 14, 1966 TO: Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison FROM: C. O. Emmerich, Executive Administrator, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.

We feel this might ·give us a chance to get sufficient funds to do some of the things which might help the Mayor in a big way. I will keep you posted as we move along.

They were pleased with the Mayor' s actions but were rather vo cal in their criticism of the police . They did not connect the outbreak with our organizat ion or the efforts being made to help b uild a better Atlanta. If y ou will review the following s ugge stions whi c h were made over and over again, I am convinc e d :re·, ,,,.:_ 1.. 1 als o recognize that the grass . root leadersh i p a s w2 ... ... as t . . e Surnmi t Leadership was trying to advise how to stop the in ci den t and not to cure long-range needs. Recommendation s for E ergeney Actio 1. A number of y outh i n th e Boul evard area d o not approve of some o f the methods being used to call attention to grievan ces , wh ich have resu l ted in violence. Accordingly, they have organized t hemsel ves into the Boulevard Northeast Youth Counci l and would like to me€ t with some responsible City o fficials to discuss t hese gr ievances. 2. Their immediate concern is i n regard t o recreation. Succ esses evidenced . by the Summer Re c r eation Program and Playlots have i n s pired them to seek a ction . Sever al vacant l ot s o n Bou levard offer poss i bil ities o f be ing us ed for such pro grams which s h ould include faciliti es for dances , games and other types of entertainment. 3. There is considerable concern al so a bout funeral a rrangements f or ~ ulet Varner, Jr. , t he y oun g man who was k illed. The y.:::,-:.;;.~1.9 people feel st r o ngly that the public o f fic ials, as well a s the community, s houl~ h ave an opportunity to join the family of the deceased i n a mutual expressi o n of grie f . 4. The positio n o f the family , e specially the deceased y outh's mother, i n being abl e to provide an appropriate burial is in questio n and the interest t aken in. this matte-r is of importance. 5. Th e me mbers of the Youth Council· would lik e to have badg es t o pin on new members and handbills to pass out which wou l d show their interest in non-v i o l ence a nd g ood human relations. �I. -- ,I Mr. Jordan -3- _September 1 4 , 1966 6. It is recommended that integrated police squad cars be used in the area. 7. There should be an investigation of t he Grady Hosp i ta l ambulance service wh ich is reported to have failed to pick up the two Negro y ouths at first but to ok the white policeman. The results of t he investigation should be publicized. 8. Questions are also bJi ng raised a s to why t h e doors of the Georgia Baptist Hospital,wh ich is nearby, were not opened to the Negro victims of t he S aturday n ight shooting. 9. Th ere are also q ue stions as to why there are n o reports on the condition o f the se c ond youth , the y oung man who was shot on Capito l Avenue and continued announ c ements and steps taken to bring about justice in both cas e s. The arrests o f suspect s hav e less ened the tension greatly and especially the fr equent and wide - spread illewscasts in regard thereto. I It took a great deal of digging f o r our local leadership to c ome up with l o ng- range corrective measures. Basi cally they made few emergency r e commendat ions that have not already been di scussed many times by the lo cal adv iso ry commi·c.tees, the Citi zens Centr al Adv isory Council and t he EOA Board. However, it was plain that they stil l believe that their long-range answer to Atlanta's problem is to bu i ld a great city which wil l give much effo rt to accompli sh th e f ollowi ng. 1. coop erat ion o f all majo r employers to bLild a ci ty whe re equal employment opportuni tie s are a matt er of normal c ou rse where every citizen ma y adv ance i n ac cordanc e with his e du c ation, training , experi en ce a n d ability. It wa s clear in every meeting th at a dequ ate jobs and job opportunities were conside r ed probably t h e most important recommendati o ns made. 2. That the number and quality o f job training courses be increa s ed s o that every u nemployed pe rson will have the op po rtu n ity for advancemen t a nd for a good job. 3.

He said that the s e are the on ly p e ople that can r e ach the group we are trying to reach and that the Summit Leadership, although they are good men, do not represent these people and that the students and others involved in the riots w ould not listen to the Summit Leadership group. �\~ September 13, 1966 Edward Moody called.

He said they object to the Mayor meeting with the Summit group - that they never heard of what went on in the meetings and that the Summit Leadership certainly didn't represent them in M e chanicsville. �September 12, 1966 Dean Tucker 526-6344 1. Mayor meeting with wrong people 2. Got bondsmen - boys who made it out 3. One problem - police - community relations - committee to hear police brutality �September 12, 1966 Arlie Schardt had two observations: 1. Mayor will be a fool if he doesn't ban all cameras in the area - especially TV - - the news coverage is 11 egging 11 the people on and exciting them. He and other reporters (he is sure) would be thankful for being banned - danger involved, etc. However, they feel they must go in and cover the story as long as they have not been banned. 2. Mayor _is in increasing danger. According to the news people, this week is really going to be a bad week. One reason is because Martin Luther King is in town. He is holding a meeting tonight and they feel this could be dangerous simply because of the number of people involved. They feel if the Mayor could offer him some way to save face without demonstrating this would help. He needs an out without being labeled Uncle Tom 11 • The 11 grass rooters made the following observations: 1. They admire the Mayor for going to the scene . 2. The Mayor's psychology would be much bette r if he would go there and just liste n to the people and let them enume rate their problems. They say he talks to the people like a step father looking down his nose. He doesn't talk to them like they are humans . He was very badly criticized for leaving Foote Street Church yesterday befor e the people could talk to him . They say he said what he had to say and they would not stay and hear them, sayin g 11 he had to go - he was a very busy man and had things to do 11 • 3. C o mplain of police brutality -- very rude to p e ople -- guns -- etc . �I I, I/ September 9, 1966 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr . From: Dan E .

Proposal for EXPANSION OF PERSONNEL TO IMPROVE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE IN DISADVANTAGED AREAS I. BACKGROUND The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc., has been engaged in a study of social problems in urban renewal areas for the city as part of the Community Improvement Program. In September, 1965, a group of residents of the Summerhill-Mechanicsville area were brought together as a means of involving residents in the study of problems in their community and in planning to remedy these problems. The group adopted the name Mechanicsville-Summerhill Improvement Committee. The committee identified school absenteeism on the part of a large number of children in the community as a problem which should have first priority. It set about investigating the services established within the schools and other community agencies to deal with the problem of school attendance. Dr . Jarvis Barnes, Director of Research and Development, met with the committee and outlined the schools' plan to deal with this problem under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act . Representatives of the committee met with Mr. O. L. Boozer, Director of Pupil Services, to discuss the problem. The committee met with the principals of the five elementary schools in t he ar ea. They provided further information about the absentee p r oblem. Lists of children who had been chronically absent from school wer e obtai ned f r om two schools. One listed 150 names, the other, 96. A sample sur vey was conducted in one ar ea to determine the incidence of the p r oblem and to i dent if y some of its c auses . During 14½ hours of ob servat i on , thirty• nine children were found with i n a five-b l ock area ; who we r e absent from school. The r ea s ons f o r absenc e varied from lack of money for clothe s and lunche s t o nega tive p aren ta l atti t udes towar d s chool attendanc e. Membe rs of the c ommittee made visits to the homes of these abs e nt ee s . The same r e asons - lack of proper c l othi ng, ca re of younger br othe rs and si s ter s, i nadeq ua t e super vis i on by pa ren t s - were f ound to be t he causes of non-att endance . • Handbills were devised by th e c ommittee , urgi ng parents t o send their child r en to schoo l and r eminding t hem of t he i r legal obl i gation to do so . The handbills we r e distributed t o children at school to take home . Repor ts f rom two pr incipals indic a ted tha t this wa s eff ective i n motivati ng some pa r en ts to see that their children returned to school . Some childr en were brou gh t in who had never a t tended school . Some par ents indicated that the y f e ared t h e y woul d r isk arr est if they did not send t he ir chil dre n t o s chool, although thi s was no t stated in the h andbil l . The committee is awar e of the multi ple p roblems of parents in the community. Ne verthel e ss, the committee has found that many pare n ts with these s ame probl ems are abl e t o get thei r ch i ldren to s chool if they are sufficiently motivat ed. The committee members strongly f e el that adequate enforcement of the compulsory attendance law would remedy much of the absenteeism. �2. There is presently in the Mechanicsville-Summerhill area only one visiting teacher to follow-up on school absentees. He is responsible for absentees in 16 schools, including approximately 10,700 children. Atlanta Public Schools has recognized in its proposal under Title I of Public Law 89-10 the importance of improving school attendance in disadvantaged areas. An original budget for 40 additional social workers has been reduced to 10 because trained professional personnel is not available. Many more workers are needed for adequate handling of attendance problems in the 40 schools located in disadvantaged areas. II . PROPOSAL The Mechanicsville-Summerhill Improvement Committee, in their home · visits, has shown the usefulness of non-professional, neighborhood residents for i mproving school attendance in disadvantaged areas. It is therefore proposed that a project be initiated under Title I of Public Law 89-10 to demonstrate the effectiveness of using non-professional, community residents to improve school attendance in disadvantaged areas. Such personnel would be designated "School Attendance Aides". A. Target Area It is proposed that two elementary schools in the MechanicsvilleSummerhill area be selected for this project. It is suggested that Capitol Avenue (Summerhill) and Cooper Street (Mechani csville) Schools would be the appropriate demonstration areas. The principals of these t wo s chools have expressed an interest in parti cipati ng in the p r oposed p r oject. B. Objectives 1. To r ed uce the number of absentees i n schools located in d is adv anta ged areas 2. To improve the r e l at i onshi p between t he school and t h e c ommunit y in d isadva n taged ar e a s 3. To demonstr ate th e ef fec tivenes s of us i ng neighborhood people in disadvan t aged areas as school a ttendance workers 4. To ameliorate the shorta ge of personne l in s chool social services 5. To give employment to people in disadvantaged areas who possess special knowledge and skills needed to work effectively in these areas 6. To obtain more adequate enforcement of the compulsory school attendance law �3. C. Method School Attendance Aides would be non-professional, neighborhood residents employed by the Atlanta Public Schools to work in sel~cted elementary schools. Recruitment of candidates for these positions would be done by the individual school principal, who would select people with the required qualifications from the neighborhood. Final decision on employment of School Attendance Aides would be left to the Division of Pupil Services. School Attendance Aides would work under the direct supervision of the visiting teacher or school social worker assigned to the area. Absentees identified by classroom teachers would be referred to the aides who would make contact with the parents of the child to determine the reason for absence. School Attendance Aides will be trained to make referrals to the appropriate community agency where there is a need. They would continue to work with the family as long as is necessary. Aides will serve as liaison between parents and classroom teachers to remedy problems that may be identified in the school situation. More difficult cases will be referred by the Aides to the School social worker. The school social worker (or visiting teacher) would initiate legal action to enforce the compulsory attendance law when necessary. Because attendance aides will be indigenous to the community, they will possess unique knowledge and skills which professional workers do not have. Aides will do much of their work in the evenings and off hours, when working parents are most accessible. Aides will interpret school regulations and requirements to parents in a manner that is understandable to them. They can do much to improve schoolcommunity relations - - which is a major problem in disadvantaged areas. D. Qualifications of School Attendance Aides 1. 2. 3. 4. Mature residents of the school neighborhood Sincere interest in children and their educational development Ability to get along with people and help them develop positive attitudes toward education Ability to understand and interpret school regulations and to learn to make proper referrals to community agencies Principals know individuals in their school community who possess these qualif ications . E. Functions of School Attendanc e Aides 1. 2. 3. Make follow-up visits to homes of absentees Work with parents of absentees to develop more positive attitudes toward the school and education Make referrals to appropriate health and welfare agencies where need is indicated �4. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. F. III. Inform parents of school regulations regarding immunization prior to school entrance, and other school regulations Inform parents of their legal obligation to send children to school regularly Refer cases to the visiting teacher or school social worker for initiation of legal action when necessary Seek out children in families new to the city and not in school Seek out truants in the neighborhood Training of School Attendance Aides 1. The training of School Attendance Aides would be done by Pupil Services staff of the Atlanta Public Schools. 2. Orientation of School Attendance Aides to community resources and instruction in referral procedures will be carried out by the Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. BUDGET It is proposed that four School Attendance Aides be assigned to each of the schools selected in the target area - Four to the school in Summerhill and four to the school in Mechanicsville.

A sample survey was conducted in one area to determine the incidence of the problem and to identify some of its causes. During 1434 hours of observation, thirty-nine children were found within a five-block area, who were absent from school. The reasons for absence varied from lack of money for clothes and lunches to negative parental attitudes toward school attendance. Members of the committee made visits to the homes of these absentees. The Same reasons — lack of proper clothing, care of younger brothers and sisters, inadequate supervision by parents — were found to be the causes of non-attendance. Handbills were devised by the committee, urging parents to send their children to school and reminding them of their legal obligation to do so. The handbills were distributed to children at school to take home. Reports from two principals indicated that this was effective in motivating some parents to see that their children returned to school. Some children were brought in who had never attended school. Some parents indicated that they feared they would risk arrest if they did not send their children to school, although this was not stated in the handbill. The committee is aware of the multiple problems of parents in the community. Nevertheless, the committee has found that many parents with these same problems are able to get their children to school if they are sufficiently motivated. The committee members strongly feel that adequate enforcement of the compulsory attendance law would remedy much of the absenteeism. II.

PROGRAM PROPOSAL FOR EXPANDED, IN DEPTH, URBAN LEAGUE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION SERVICES IN AREAS OF ATLANTA SIMILAR TO THE ONES OF THE CURRENTLY MANIFESTED RACIAL UNREST (SUMMERHILL REGION) The Urban League movement, against a background of national experience and expert knowledge in cotlI'.lunity assessment and practical program planning is sensitive to the signs and symbols of community vulnerability to the kinds of outbreaks that Atlanta has witnessed in the Summerhill area during the past f ew days. Again the Urban League warns against the embarrassment of hurried and stop-gap measures. Such mistakes of countless urban communities facing these specific kinds of problems serve as a guide for the Atlanta Urban League to do effective planning for the prevention and removal of the known glaring problems persisting and untouched by programs of purely passing and opiating impact i n Metropolitan Atlanta.

PROGRAM PROPOSAL FOR EXPANDED, IN DEPTH, URBAN LEAGUE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION SERVICES IN AREAS OF ATLANTA SIMILAR TO THE ONES OF THE CURRENTLY MANIFESTED RACIAL UNREST (SUMMERHILL REGION) The Urban League movement, against a background of national experience and expert knowledge in connu.nity assessment and practical program planning is sensitive to the signs and symbols of community vulnerability to the kinds of outbreaks that Atlanta has witnessed in the Summerhill area during the past few days. Again the Urban League warns against the embarrassment of hurried and stop-gap measures. Such mistakes of countless urban communities facing these specific kinds of problems serve as a guide for the Atlanta Urban League to do effective planning for the prevention and r emoval of the known glaring problems persisti ng and untouched by programs of purely pa ssing and opiating impact in Metropolitan Atlanta. We continue to insist that the problems focused by the Summerhill out break ar e of a nature addressing themselve s with unquestioning clarion call for a total mobili zat i on of community resources to reach the basic problems to e ffe ctua te substantive soluti ons. Qui ck and momentarily soothing programs , however appr opriate to get s uch communities back t o a leve l of r ecept ivity f or part i cipation i n organi zed , di s c ipl ined and democratically based pr oc edures f or community l eadership involvement in self- help programs are, of necessity, limited t o just s uch yi e l d . The mistakes of Watts (Los Angele s , California) as f ollow-up s t udies have demonstrated, ar e i n t wo important categor ies : (1) That the effor ts of public - based ( gover nmental) agenc i es, limited as they ar e i n the per miss i ve br ea dth of invol veme nt and depth of pr ogramming and organi zation, cannot alone satisfy the hard-core needs of s uch a situa t i on. ( 2 ) That beca us e of the existence of the very network of publi c DGencies, de spi te the ir limitat i ons, the strengthening of the operational bases of private agencies of experience has been greatly neglected . �2 We, The Atlanta Urban League, Inc., therefore, are calling immediately upon the National Urban League, the City of Atlanta, the Metropolitan Atlanta Community Services, and other available resources, to join forces in veering away from the futile course of other cities of the nation in attacking the Summerhill problems by supplementing the currently evolving emergency programs with more basically problem-oriented programs, so characteristically lacking in the approaches of similarly situated cities of the nation. Admittedly, what the Ur ban League propose s in the f ollowing r ecommendation is not a program of over-night returns. Indeed, we warn that the basic problems of Summerhill and other known communities in Atlanta of similar vulnerability do not l end themselve s to over-night solutions . Human attitudes, changeable only by the skillful techniques of indoctrination in a faith and methodol ogy of griev0nce -pleadi ng within the f ramework of existing politica l and social we lfare channel s are developed t hrough the knowl edge of and guidance into effect ive pr ocessing of such ~rievnnces . However, t he rewards in the i nstilling of sel f-hel p possibilitie s , and the working experience of leadership of s uch communit ies with the compl ex of broad community agencie s of responsibilit ies fixes the lines of communica tion and faith in total community concern wi th the problems of t r oubled areas, and serves, througb inevitable achievements, to stabilize such pocket communities in the fac e of onslaught from exploitative purposed influences. PROJECTED PROGRAM The Atlanta Urban League, Inc., therefore, proposes the following demonstration program for consideration in the Summerhill area to later expand to all similar areas in Atlanta establishing field unit offices. The expansion of the services of The Atlanta Urban League, Inc., through the �3 establishment of a staffed Unit Field office(s) to: 1. Take immediate action in the formulation of Urban League - method oriented neighborhood organizations. A. Through these neighborhood units, serviced on a continuing basis by trained Urban League personnel, broader leadership can be trained to: (1) Serve as an on-going source of knowledge on both positive and negative developments in the community. (2) More importantly, to serve as the continuing channel for the implementing of programs geared to the needs of the people. 2. Engage in periodic research, both relating to changing census tract data and a ttitudinal information for effective programming, 3, To br i ng to the community practical knowledge of services ava i lable f or meet i ng persona l and group needs . 4. To develop on-going inter-agency communica tion on a ccompl i shment s a.nd emerge ncy needs . 5. To utilize the exper i ence s and br oad skills i n pr ogram planning and i nnovating gained by the National Urban Lea gue program development staff for consultative involvement in effectivene ss of experiment a l pr ograms of seventy- five (75) urban communiUe s throughout the nation, in stabi li zi ng eff or ts of such communities . All of these r ecommendat io~s , ar e , of course, ba sed upon the findings of re s earched needs, and the adaptabilit i es of selective programs to the community. �4 Needless, to point out, the program emphases will fall within the four basic program areas in which the Urban League operates: Housing, Economic Development & Employment, Health & Welfare, and Education & Youth Incentives - - on an intensive and on-going basis. A very special effort will be made to identify and counsel new residents of Atlanta in these areas. The services offered will be different than, but offered in cooperation with, other services available to the community. The services will be problem oriented and will include leadership development; employment opportunities in the Atlanta Urban League's "Skills Bank"; training opportunities through the Atlanta Urban League's Manpower Development and Training Act (On-The.:,Job Training Project); vocational and educational counseling through the Atlanta. Urban League 's "See Industry In Action' ' Program; improved living condition and relocation through the Atlanta Urban League's housing program, and parental health and welfare assistance through the Atlanta Urban League's ENABLE (Education and Neighborhood Action For A Better Living Environment) Program. Emphasis will be placed on the residents becoming knowledgeable and motivated to identify their needs and to take positive cooperative action, without anger and violence , to satisfy these needs. The Urban League 's motto "American Teamwork Works" will always be manifested . This will mean active and visible participation, at the "grass root" level by responsible white and Negro citizens • • • an important factor in developing faith between the races. An example. of this would be "top" employer representatives working in the communities through the Atlanta Urban League's field unit office as a part of our "Skills Bank" operation, and employers welcoming prospective employee s in their plants, as a part of our "See Industry In Action" Program. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Quick and momentarily soothing programs, however appropriate to get such communities back to a level of receptivity for participation in organized, disci- plined and democratically based procedures for community leadership involvement in self-help programs are, of necessity, limited to just such yield. The mistakes of Watts (Los Angeles, California) as follow-up studies have demonstrated, are in two important categories: (1) That the efforts of public- based (governmental) agencies, limited as they are in the permissive breadth of involvement and depth of programming and organization, cannot alone satisfy the hard-core needs of such a situation. (2) That because of the existence of the very network of public agencies, despite their limitations, the strengthening of the operational bases of private agencies of experience has been greatly neglected. We, The Atlanta Urban League, Inc., therefore, are calling immediately upon the National Urban League, the City of Atlanta, the Metropolitan Atlanta Community Services, and other available resources, to join forces in veering away from the futile course of other cities of the nation in attacking the Summerhill problems by supplementing the currently evolving emergency programs with more basically problem=oriented programs, so characteristically lacking in the approaches of similarly situated cities of the nation.

However, the rewards in the instilling of self-help possibilities, and the working experience of leadership of such communities with the complex of broad community agencies of responsibilities fixes the lines of communication and faith in total community concern with the problems of troubled areas, and serves, through inevitable achievements, to stabilize such pocket communities in the face of onslaught from exploitative purposed influences.

Atlanta, Ga. 30303 September 9, 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen City of Atlanta Atlanta, Ga. Dear Mayor Allen: The undersigned professional staff of intergroup relations _a gencies have long been concerned with the well being of our community. Thus the events of this past week dictate that we communicate with you relative to the situation,and our role in the amelioration of this and similar incidents which might occur. The two things which occurred this week must be of concern to all Atlantans. The first was the disorder on Tuesday, which we do not condone. The second is the response of the community to the disturbance. There has been in our opinion competent criticism of the violence and of those who supported it, for no one can countenance violence, the injury of persons and the willful destruction of property. the other hand, it would be tragic, indeed, if community consensus were to become arrayed against certain individuals and organization and thus become a substitute for a more constructive response to the conditions which brought it about. Ample data is available from other communities, that agitation to action is not possible in a vacuum. Nor is the Summerhill area unique. It could have occurred in any of a number of different places in our city, just as riots can and do occurr in other cities in America. For whenever there are deprivations and injustices those who would incite violence will find a ready response to their appeals. On If Atlanta is to spare itself from future disorders, the leadership of the city of Atlanta must focus on the real problems which face too many of its people: inadequate housing; overcrowded schools; under-employment; a lack of adequate recreational facilities; a dearth of public services to these disadvantaged areas; minimal enforcement of the city's building code. These are but a few of the general areas of immediate concern with many, many more that could be enumerated and which demand immediate attention and prompt action. The undersigned are prepared to lend their technical abilities and the full resources of their respective agencies to the City of Atlanta and to all of its people in an effort to develop a meaningful program for the city in the resolution of these problems. · · �Mayor Ivan Allen September 9, 1966 Page - 2 - We respectfully request an opportunity of an irnmediate meeting with you and such members of the Board of Alderman and your staff as you deem appropriate for the purpose of more fully exploring these problems, their ramifications and an immediate course of action to be initiated by the city in dealing with these complex and highly volatile matters.
