UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CONGREGATION OF ATLANTA EUGENE PICKETT, MINISTER September 15, 1966 The Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia My dear Mr. Mayor: I wish to express, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, UnitarianUniversalist Congregation of Atlanta, our concern over the recent events which have seriously disturbed the interracial climate in Atlanta. We feel that the time is due, and past due, for some really constructive action to be taken in this area- -action which only the City Government is in a position to implement. At the same time, we want to commend the obvious solicitude with which you and other leaders in Atlanta have grappled with the immediate problems raised by the shooting incident, the personal bravery shown by yourself and the police force, and the rapidity with which the murder suspects were apprehended. It is becoming daily more apparent that meaningful and constant communication among the various factions involved in our city's dilemma is a crucial ingredient to its solution. We believe that the most useful single action which could be taken at this time is the establishment of a Mayor's Aldermanic Council on Human Relations, which would be empowered to call to its meetings not only concerne d citizens in the various private organizations, but also ranking officers in all branches of the City Government. Such a council should have quasiofficial status, and should have the ear of the Mayor and the Alder manic Board at all times . Of the essence in the usefulness of such a Council would be the fact that its recommendations would be taken seriously . 1911 CLIFF VALLEY WAY NE ATLANTA GEORGIA 30329 TEL : 634-5134 �Members of this Congregation, and of our Denomination generally, have worked unceasingly since our beginnings in the field of civil rights and of human wellbeing generally. We have accepted both hard work and danger--as in the case of James Reeb in Selma. We are especially concerned, therefore, that outbreaks of violence and and intransigence on both sides of the issues might jeopardize much that has been won in the cause of better understanding and equality of opportunity. We urge, with all vigor and earnestness, that a major step such as the Mayor's Council suggested, be established immediately, and that leaders of all factions give it their unqualified support.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Atlanta Community Relations Commission held a town hall meeting for the residents in the Peachtree-Tenth Street area in an effort to begin some kind of dialogue between the young people, long-time residents, and property owners and be i | t f a f : to determine whether the city services and resources are adequate for that area. The areas of concern seemed to be as follows: Priority Number 1: Jobs Priority Number 2: Housing Priority Number 3; © Drug traffic and drug hazards Priority Number 4; The need for a community house that would also house health facilities and provide for counseling. Priority Num!er 5: The need to make plans for a projected influx of vacation Hippies from other cities . “Priority Number 6: The need for police patrolling the district without harassment of the residents Priority Number 7: Neighborhood cleanup facilities (Need for more street garbage cans) Priority Number 8: The need for a center to’ cope with the problems of runaway people ff : The Community Relations Commission is, concerned with the Tenth Street area in the same way that it has concerned itself with other neighborhood areas in the city. However, we realize that the problems in this area are made more complex by the presence of drugs and the conflict between the life styles of the long-time residents and the younger residents. The Commission applauds the efforts by the young people in handling the drug problem and for using their own pressures to rid the neighborhood of drug pushers and to keep new drug pushers trom coming inio the area. Obviously Atlanta has no desire or inclinction to make the city into a police city by prohibiting anyone from choosing to come to Atlanta to live or to exist. However, the Commission does urge that whatever means ore available he used to get information to Hippies in other areas as to the lack of job opporiunities that exist a over Aflania as well as the lack of housing for the existing population. We urge that this information be dissiminated as well os the. information that the city government intends to use every resource it has and even to using whatever outside agencies are available in a tough crackdown policy on the sale of narcoties throughout the cily. ' ot Pe Tie Veo. , eos * 4 . The Commission bélievés that there’Should be no misunderstartding as to the climate of - opinion in regard to the implementation of the city government itself, its police department and all other agencies in policing of the overall city. We think it is only fair to tel! young people what to expect if they arrive in Atlanta without a job and without visible means of support. Up untii now coexistence in the area has been made possible by concerned -: citizens, by churches, by individual members of the medical profession, which includes psychiatrists. We are grateful ‘or the concerned people and organizations. ' -As individuals and as a city commission we will continue to work with the community in attempting to further a peaceful, creative community. We in no way subscribe to the theory for this community or dny community in Ametica that if you ignore problems they will go away. The grim lesson of other cities which subscribe fo this philosophy has been heeded. We-intend to return to the Tenth Street area on June dnd to make a report, to make suggestions, and to listen to the residents. In the meantime, there are certain recommendations which we would like to make now and which we believe would be supported by the majority of the people in the coramunity.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ATTACHMENT B COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION REPORT OF PROGRAM COMMITTEE Helen Bullard, Chairman PREFACE The Program Committee would like to list the premises on which the program is based, since in our opinion it was not possible to suggest program in a vacuum but rather to suggest program in terms of the implementation; in other words, when we suggested the following program we considered whether or not in our opinion it was feasible within the framework of limited staff, budget, and other facilities. We propose the following as a summary of the philosophy of the Program Committee of the Commission: 1. That the Commission make accessibility one of its prime objectives. 2. · That as far as possible the work of the Comm.is sion be in the area of prevention. 3. That the Commission avoid duplicating any function that is already the province of an e stablished agency or group and that its efforts be c h a nne l e d in the area s of impl e m e nting r athe r than duplication . 4. Tha t t h e p r og ra m of t h e Commission remain fl exible and within t h e capab ilitie s of the C ommission. 5. That the Commiss ion rec o gnize the re s p o n sib ility of a creati ve approach t o solv ing problems of our C o mmuni ty and its re s pon s ibility t o encourage the i nvolve m ent of th e citizens of the entir e City. �6. That the Commission's program include for consideration and possible implementation the suggestions from the citizens themselves. That the Commission then becomes, with the approval of the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, the spokesman for the City of Atlanta. PROGRAM I The Program Committee proposes the following areas for immediate action (the se areas were included in the ad hoc committee I s r e port as b e ing the most obvious areas for survey of services and facilities): a. Blue Heaven (Location: Decatur Street - Atlanta DeKalb area) b. Cabbage Town (Location: Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill) c. M e chanicsville d. Summe r Hill (Location: Off G e or g i a Avenue , behind the C a pitol) e. Vine City (Location: Vine Street and Magnolia) f. Lighting g. Scotts Crossing (othe r suggestions) h. i. j. and such other areas as may be d e t erm i n e d b y th e Commi ssion o r requested by the neighborhood organizations or individ uals. The purpose of this investi - gation is to make recommendations to the Mayor and t h e Board of A l dermen r e garding the furnishing of necessary services and facilities within the control - 2 - �of the City of Atlanta which shall standardize the services furnished in the above mentioned areas with all the other areas of the City of Atlanta. As a basis for such information and recommendations, the Program Committee urges that this program be given first priority; that the information be obtained by holding public hearings in the suggested areas to which the public, neighborhood organizations and other interested individuals will be invited. We suggest that this be a simultaneous project and that the Commission be set up in teams · and a ss igned to specific areas and that each team designate one member as a secretary for the purpose of filing a joint report to the entire Commission. In areas where there i s not unanimous agreement within the team, we suggest a m inority repo rt also be filed. PROGRAM II For purposes of gaining information we suggest that the following people who a r e concerned with the community relations in the various areas and disciplines be invited to appe a r befo re the entire Commi ssion for the following purposes : a. To outline for t he community their present method of operation. b. To p roject plans for the future. c. To analyze what they consider their greatest problems, and d. To make whatever recommendations they care to to the Community Relations Commi ssion. We suggest the following a r ea s of concern: 1.

Foundation funds will be used to pay the salary of a special assistant to the Mayor expericnced in urban affaixs, capable, with the Mayor's political leadership, of meshing the resources and energies of the disparate elements of the community in concerted action, and knowledgeable akout securing outside resources to heip with the task. This wiil be an experiment and demonstration of the value oz such a staff and function in the Mavor*®s office of a southern city with a "weak mayor" system. If the demonstration warrants such action the Mayor will attempt to establish the staff and function as a permanent feature of his office. The U.S. Conference of Mayors will obsexve the experience and report on it to other cities in similar situations. BACKGROUND ANi RAT TONALE In coping with the crisis problems of cities and, even more important, developing and implementing policy and strategy for healthy urban development that will obviate the crises, the mayor's office is the key commenc post. Only the mayor has comprehensive responsibility. Other functionaries have restricted concerns for education, housing, welfare, public safety, etc, Elected representa tives have comprehensive concern, but are limited to n policy formation through legislation. Only the mayor is concerned with policy formation and execution. Without strong and capable leadership from the mayor's Gofsies and the mobilization cf internal and external rescurces by him the inexorable forces tending to break acvg the economic and social order of the city are not * iixely to give way. City of Atlanta Page Seven (continued) What this means is that the modern 1 a oe must be a “system nelyst" and ops. ) Me must view the city as a system made up of interac. ~~ vSstems ae immpingee upon by regional and nationa wis, The trick for the mavor is to mesh these systems so that their own “rules-of~the-geme" and self-serving objectives are to the greatest dagree possible induced to serve the purposes of the general welfare and developncnt of the community. How can the moxtgage banking system bettex produce low cost housing? How can the customs , leadership patterns and aspirations of the low income Negro community best be mobilized to push constructively for uceward mobility? How can the needs of industry for skilled pexsonnel be made a force to speed up the training of unsk the resources cf federal agencies marshalled to support orceriy an egnetebee develorment? Most cities now exploit only a fraction of the outside resources potentially available to them because they don't know how to go after them or to use them efficiently. . ilLed people? How can and foundations be y B, uw All of this takes know-how. To be deployed most effectively that know=how must be in, or close to, or at the beck and call of the mayor's office. @ Atlanta is one of the beliwether cities of the south with outstanding leadership in the Mayor's office. The general climate in the city is such that well reasoned and executed policies and programs have a favorable environ- ment in which to confront the complex problems of today's cities, These circumstances make it an opportune time and place to try to improve the capacity of the Mayor's office to perform the dynamic role it should and for the experience to be visible and hopefully influential elsewhere. ape Db Tha plans for the project were de veloped jointly by the U.S. Conference of Max yore, the Southern Regional Council,  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Although it is true that the Office of Economic Opportunity has some money available for research and demonstration programs in housing, none of it has been earmarked for any specific cities. The work done by the National Committee against Discrimination in Housing was undertaken some time ago, before there was any clear idea of what our appropriation for this fiscal year would be. When our appropriation was reduced, it was impossible to fund all programs which had been considered, and no further action was possible on the one you mention. With its limited funds for housing demonstrations, our office has concentrated on the development of city-wide and neighborhood corporations as an experiment in new delivery mechanisms for low-cost housing. We have also encouraged a wide variety of housing services programs through community action agencies. We would, of course , be happy to discuss any proposal you might have, either on an informal basis or on the basis of a formal submission. May I suggest that you contact your local connnunity action agency or other housing groups to see what your next step might be. Thank you for your interest in our program. Richards .

MACHEALTH Minutes The December 11, 1969 meeting of MACHealth was held in the Planned Parenthood Board Room, 1st Floor, Glenn Building, after last-minute cancellation of Room 619. Those present: Members Alternates Staff Mr. Linwood Be ck Hon Wm. H. Breen, Jr. ~ev. E. B. Broughton Mr. Jack Cofer Mr. Gary Cutini Mr. Drew Fuller Mr. James Gardner Mrs. Henry Mae Glenn Mrs . Mandy Griggs Dr. Quillian Hamby Miss Sue Jockers Mrs. Linden Johnson Mrs. Evangeline Lane Mrs. Gladys Lovett Mr . Wi lliam Pinkston,Jr. Mr~. Ruth Robinson Mr. Nelson Severinghaus Dr. Luther Vinton Mr . Lyndon A. Wade Dr. Robert E. Wells Dr. Luther Fortson Mr. Flay W. Sellers Mr. Bill Thompson Mr. A. B. Padgett Mrs. Merle Lott, R. N. Mr, Henry Montfort Dr. Raphael B. Levine Mr. A. F. Branton Mrs. Harriet Bush Miss Rebecca Dinkel Mr. Frank A. Smith Mrs. Gayle Matson Mrs. Lou Ashton Mrs. Harriet Bush passed out questionnaire s pertaining to Public Health and asked that they be filled in and ret urned to her. Mr. A. B, Padgett reported results of site team visit of December 2. He said that there had been a rather lengthy visit with the site team, 9:00 A. M. - 1: 00 P. M. The team had many questions. Mr. Padgett said that friends had reported that the team seemed favorably impressed with the answers to questions they raised and there was no apparent reason why they would not go ahead with their recommendations for funding at the January 26 meeting. This, of course, means that there will be no funding January las was hoped and it will necessitate shifting some items on the timetable. Mr. Padgett called on Dr. Levine for an explanation of what this means. Dr. Levine added that the site team did not at any time appear antagonistic. Thay had legitimate questions and wanted answers and were determined to probe until they got the answers. He said that he thought the group was satisfied that MACHealth was the right kind or organization in regard to MACLOG and CCAA. Dr. Levine said he felt that they were convinced that the systems approach was an excellent way for the council to have more information, therefore, decision would be somewhat easier to arrive at in this way rather than using the current standard techniques of attacking one problem at a time �Page 2 - Minutes and ignoring the interrelationshipr. of the problems. Mr. Padgett added that people on the council will have an opportunity to have explained to them any questions that they may have regarding the systems approach which they do not understand clearly. Dr. Levine discussed the impact of the delay in funding. He pointed out the fact that there were a number of things which needed attention now and there was no money with which to engage additional staff an~ this ·would necessitate going ahead with inadequate manpower in many instanc~s until April 1 at which time MACHealth should become an agency on its own. At the recommendation of the Regional Health Advisory Committee, MACHealth applied for an extension grant to continue in the organizational phase for an additional three to six months. Under this grant, urgent items can be done. Dr. Levine mentioned the need for bringing a facilities review committee into existence by February. Dr. Levine introduced the new organization liaison planner, Miss Rebecca Dinkel, and reported that she was doing an excellent job. Dr.Levine also reported the illness of Mrs.Loretta Barnes, Secretary pro tern, and told the group that Mrs. Barnes expected to leave the hospital about December 12. Dr. Levine asked the Nominating Committeee and the Council to begin thinking of logical candidates for the permanent offices: president, 5 vice presidents, and secretary. He point ed out the need for a slate to be presented before the end of December. He also said there could be nominations from the floor at the meeting in January. He said the nominating committee would be glad to hear from any individual on MACHealth who might have a logical nominee in mind for one or more of the offices. Mr.Padgett stated that the Community Council has been looked to by State Department of Public Health as a review agency for requests for federal funding and federal approval. He said that the Board of Directors of the Community Council agreed to turn this responsibility over to MACHealth as soon as we are ready . Nelson Severinghaus moved that MACHealth accept that responsibility as soon as possible. The motion passed unanimously. Dr. Levine added that any person who would like to be on this committee should mention it to the Chairman pro tern. He also pointed out that a mental health committee needs to be set up qui te soon . He urged members to participate diligently in committee work. Dr. Levine brought t he group up to date on the matter of Cobb County, the misund e rstanding through the press, etc. He stated that MACHealth is the official agency for review of all health projects involving federal government and it would redound to Cobb County's benefit to be a member in good standing of MACHealth. The council will be giving a good deal of technical assistance which will be made available to participating members, but cannot be made available to non-participating members. �Page 3 - Minutes Cobb County's holding out, said Dr, Levine, will probably mean about a 10% cut in the budget, with some reduction in staff. Dr. Levine says that he feels sure that Cobb will come in eventaully. He said that there is a commitment in the budget for 1970 from all counties except Cobb. $149,000 must be raised locally to match federal funds. Counties have committed just under $100,000. It is hoped that $37,000 can be raised from private sources such as foundations, and $112,000 f.rom . .ccimties..·.Dr.. ;: .·Levine · said -that even if Cobb decides not to come in, it is expected that participation from other Cobb County agencies will prevent Cobb from being left out of the budgetary picture altogether. Mr. Severinghaus asked if the City of Atlanta was included in the budget; Dr , Levine answered that so far no way had been devised to get city money contributions into the picture. Counties are asked to contribute on a percapita basis, which includes cities within the county, He said that there is no a priori reason why the cities should not be involved. They have an impact on health and receive benefits from health, too. Dr. Levine reported that the MACLOG incorporation was ratified in November. Miss Rebecc~ Dinkel reported her efforts to get through to Cobb County through the Chamber of Commerce. She said that Messrs. Gilbert and Graham had suggested a "cooling off" period, then beginning a new education campaign in Cobb County about MACHealth. 1• Dr. Levine br i efed the group about the work, that the emergency health services task force has been doing. He said that an application for a study is almost ready to be submitted by Georgia Tech. He said that the application must be submitted by December 20 and that the project was very closely coordinated through a task force of MACHealth. The question of local matching money and whose responsibility it will be to raise it was brought up. Dr, Levine reported that several members of the task force had ideas of where the money would come from and prospects for raising the money look good . Mr . Pinkston suggested that the board take no official action on this matter until more is known about funding, etc. Dr.Levine asked if there would be any objections to stating in the applicati on t hat the group expects to stay within the framework of the MA CHea l th guide lines. Mr. Padgett suggested that the applic ation state that the task force is working hand in glove with MACHealth. There were no objections to this statement. Gary Cutini urged that caution be used in endorsing projects in order to avoid duplication and fragmentation. Mr. Padgett agreed that MACHealth's main objective was coordination. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:30 P. M. /ia � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
