Mayor Ivan Allen
Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Sir:

I was deeply disturbed and disappointed when I read your
testimony before the Congressional Committee favoring the
Administration's Civil Rights Bill.

It seems bbvious that your people do not share your
enchantment at the results of the de-segregation of the
beautiful city of “tlanta. If all were the picture of sweet-
hess and light you painted for the reporters and Congressional
Committee, surely you would feel no need for federal laws to
keep your people from "backslifing".

This bill would bring us to the brink of Totalitarianismé

The taking away of the rights of property owners is one of

the first steps toward a Communistic state.

It is disheartening to realize how many politicians are
Willing to jeopardize our form of government to obtain the
Negro vote, or perhaps a political plum from this Administration.

The stand you have taken on this matter does a grave
disservice to our country.

Sincerely,

hla 7 BATE

Dear Mayor Allen:

Unless you would be willing to take your family
into a swimming pool filled with negroes from all walks of
life, I don't believe that you had any right to change the
status quo at this time in opening the pools to negroes,

I pass through Piedmont Park every day and the pool
is going to waste. We all know and deplore the use of the
Candler Park pool.

No, I wouldn't like to be Mayor and make the decisions,
but you chose to be Mayor and I want to be put on record as
stating that I think you made a very sorry decision and also
that I think that your testimony recently in Washington was
ridiculous and that it did not reflect the thinking of the

inice colored beauty shops within a rediue of 5 blocks of ay

place. When I told her of this, her reply was: “Don't you

Is this the sort of thing the Kennedys want? Will they gube

Dear Sir:
I read every day in our newspapers such as this:
Groceryman robbed, Whiskey store robbed, white woman assaulted
and raped ••••• all by negroes.
It seems that you have created a monster, another Washington, D.C.
for persona] and political gain. Has it ever occurred to you that within a short time, we will have a negro mayor, negro councilman, and
negro chief of police? Then, may God have mercy on the whites and your
so-called fair and prosperous city. Even now, we are afraid to walk the
streets of Atlanta after nightfall. PLEASE ask your colored friends to
make some effort to be worthy of what you are doing for them, in return
for their votes.
A White Voter and Taxpayer.

I think you made a complete foo l out of yourself and the Great State of Georgia
by endorsing the Civ 9 1 Rights Bill made by the Kenrledy brothers and probably hel~ed
by Martin Luther King; , who has a bunch of Reds on his staff.
I will, and certainly none of my friends, not ever vote for you or anyone like you
who is up just for the po litical glory of what might be in store for you. Maybe you
will be elected to head King's New York office.

The Editor
Chattanooga News-Free Press
Chattanooga, Tennessee

Dear Sir:

nk you for the wonderful manner in which you report the

ional news so accurately and fairly. I subseribe to

er because we do not got this type coverage here in Atlanta
ehind our “paper curtain.”

eannot agree with you more fully than in your editorial
‘ about our Atlanta Mayor, Ivan Allen, and his sell-out to
Atlanta negro block vote.

t is so amazing is that only a few years ago when Ivan
en had his eyes on the Georgia governorship, he was a
unch serpegnieelst.

When Ivan Allen ran for mayor of Atlanta, he apparently
sed the negros the parks and pools, the restaurants,
os lk, tas te aor He on onl a bett ing kee
8 says suppor 8
os that he is willing to give eae rights and those
other property anes as given us under the Constitution.

Most Atlanta white eitizens who are so disgusted by his
ofions feel that he has ruined himself peer but
t some Federal appointment must surely await him. His
tement before the Senate Commerce Comittee sounded
st as if Bobby Kennedy had written it himself.

corely yours,

Ken E. Edwards, Jr.

Dear Mayor Allen:
I would be remiss i n my duty and responsibility as a lifel ong
citizen of Atlanta if I did not tell you how utterly distasteful your stand on the Civil Rights Bill before the Senate
Commerce Committee was to the average white Atlanta citizen.
You certainly are paying for the negro block vote that put
you into office. It is disappointing that a man of your
intelligence would stand up before such a committee and state
that you condone allowing Federa l force to deprive the pr vate property owners of our land of the right to decide how
they may use their property.
Surely, after being the segregationist that you were some
years back, you could not in your heart believe what you have
said in your testimony unless it be for the payment of a
political debt. We must stand for the constitutional rights
that are ours under the Consti tution of the United States.
Thos e in top offices, such as you, should stand for the
enforcement of our Constitution and see that the meaning
an:l intent of it is carried out until it is officially and
properly amended or changed.
Sincer~

Dear Mayor Allen:

I would be remiss in my duty and responsibility as a lifelong
citizen of Atlanta if I did not tell you how utterly distaste-
ful your stand on the Civil Rights Bill before the Senate
Commerce Committee was to the average white Atlanta citizen.

You certainly are paying for the negro block vote that put
you into office. It is disappointing that a man of your
intelligence would stand up before such a committee and state
that you condone allowing Federal force to deprive the pri-
vate property owners of our land of the right to decide how
they may use their property.

Surely, after being the segregationist that you were some
years back, you could not in your heart believe what you have
said in your testimony unless it be for the payment of a
political debt. We must stand for the constitutional rights
that are ours under the Constitution of the United States.
Those in top offices, such as you, should stand for the
enforcement of our Constitution and see that the meaning

amd intent of it is carried out until it is officially and
properly amended or changed.

Sincerely yours, ,

Hon. Ivan Allen Jr.
Mayor of Atlanta

City Hall
Atlanta,Gae

Dear Mayor; Since the present Administration in Washington
has gone 50 all out for the s0 called Civil Rights Bill which
is the worst legislation ever offered by the Government we must
in '64 defeat this Administration at all cost in ite bid for
re-election. How any Southern White voter could back this type
legislation is beyond anything I can see. The Negro may be hav-
ing his year in '63 but the White man will have his year '64.

I voted for this Administration in '60 as I
have always done but that is the last time I expect to vote
the Democratic National Ticket on the trend they are going.
Let us all get together and fight against trying to give the
one-tenth of the votoers in this nation everything and forgetting
the other nine-tenths thereof.

In you City I have many kin people ,including
many first cousins, and the former Supy. of the Fulton County
echools was my Mothers first cousin. I am going to write to each
of these and we are going all out to get the rights of the White
man restored. ;

Lincoln said in 1858 in Lincoln Douglas Debate
at Charlestown that 'I am not now nor ever have been in favor of
making the white and black races equal nor of giving the Negroes
right to vote,be jurors or intermarry with the whites. That one
of the races must be superior and as for me I want to assign this
to the white race.

Do you recall the so called Berlin wall in
atlanta between the Yihites and the Blacks? Could you tell me

who Was Mayor then?

Thoses that want to mix let them do so but
please let us not destroy 3/10 of our good White people to try
and satisfy 1/10.

The late Bishop Fuller (colored Bishop) of

Atlanta Ga. who died few years back was raiced in Laurens County
with my Father who knew him from childhood. wy Father thought a lot
of Bishop Fuller who rosce.to establish colored churches all over
the South and in Ohio. We reppesented them in many law suits and
other matterg and they always when here in Spartanburg came to our
offices. Bishop Puller wanted no part of the mixing of the racegs

Honorable Sir;

‘ I just saw and heard you on tv and was both amazed and surprised. Could
there be some mistake and it was the Mayor of Harlem "N.Y. speaking for
the kennedys and the niggers rather than the Mayor of the Great Southern
City of Atlanta. What will I hear and see next is there anything left
that they wont endeavor to do.

Wonder who voted for you was it the niggers or white people. I know how
your people must feel about your sorry and disgraceful performance, and
I feel certain they will let you hear from them. Did you get mad at Sen.
Thurmond when he asked you @ very sensible and pertinent question. And
Why did you get’ mad. To me you showed your true colors. When I see and
hear people like you and Ralph Mcgill I get sick to my stomach and feel
like vomitting. Are you one of Ralph MceGills boys.

Yours in shame and sorrow ffor
your disgraceful performance

A Son of the South and a
business man who is proud of
his property rights under our

to the office of Mayor.
I was, to this point, pleased that I had a ctively supported and

There are moderates and there are extremists--extremists in both

I do not feel that our City has room f or an extremist-regardless of his direction.
For you to go before a national television audience and give the

I was, to this point, pleased that I had actively supported and

to all problems--and at this time, particularly to segregation.
There are moderates and there are extremists--extremists in both

For you to go before a national television audience and give the

Mayor~Ivan Allen:
Atlanta,Ga.
You are wrong when you state Atlanta is for the President's Civil Rights Bill.
You are speaking for your self not for Atlanta.
You better be sure Atlanta is for
the bill before you make such a broadcast to the world.
There is more against it
than for it. It is the worst bill the country is facing. And for me as a citizen
along with thousands of others are not for it now or ever.
We can see why you are for the negroes they put you 1n office. And you think
they will put you in again. I am sure the white people want. I fot one will not ever.
I did not vote for you the first time and want the second.
Sincerely,
A Citizen

Mayor Ivan Allen
Atlanta.I) Ga.,
Dear· Sir:
I
am not a person who habitually writes letters, nor am I an
uneducated race baiter.
However, I cannot help but say to
you th8t I think you are
a
disgrace to Atlantao
It is vecy
evident to all concerned that you are willing to undermine one
of the basic freedoms of our country in order to gain the
.Negro vote.
Anytime a man puts his mo ney , time, sweat and tears to building
a business he has the right to serve and hire whom he pleases.
If his consience does not tell him to serve Negroes, Whites,
Yellows or whatever, that's his privilege under our American
system.
I am for freedom for everyone, but you can't take freedom
away from one person to give it to another.
Long may our American freedom live in spite of the likes of you.
Sincerely,
143.215.248.55 16:49, 29 December 2017 (EST)
P.Se What you actually advocated in Washin)Iton today was law by
~
threat and bla c kmail.
