My dear Sir:
I,of course,did not hear you testify before that committee in
Washington the other day,but I heard it announced on television,

that I heartily and fully endorse your stand on this subject.
I now tha t there is nothing much tha t a man of no note,as I am
can do to assist in the se efforts,but I hope t o encourage you and
others who are in a position to be heard,to put forth every effort to
accomplish in our day,at least a part of the thi ngs,which is making a
start on all the things,which as I s ee it, ar e so long past due.
To me,the color of a person's s kin,has nothing to do with his
usefulnes s in accomplishing the things that always have,and still do,
lie ahead of the human race to accomplish,and _it appears to me ,that
the Creator had a purpose and use for all the peoples of his creation
to,or in order to accomplish whatever he had in mind for the human race
accomplish , s o that we may all en joy the greatest happiness.
And from my position,it appears t hat the sooner we humans of a ll
races and colors can realize these things,and stop acting like that we
thing our Creator made a mistake becaus e he made somebody else with a lighter
or darker color than we are,and accept all creation just as it is,and
get busy,by putting all our efforts togeather to accomplish the good things
that will benefit all colors alike ~which pl an , so far as I know ,has n ever

reason't°expect that greater accomplishments and benef its that have been
with-held from mankind because of our attitude toward our Creator 's

Hon.Mayor Ivan Allen

My dear Sir:

I,of course,did not hear you testify before that committee in
Washington the other day,but I heard it announced on television,

and saw it in the papers,and I am just writing to you,to let you know
that I heartily and fully endorse your stand on this subject.

I know that there is nothing much that a man of no note,as I am
can do to assist in these efforts,but I hope to encourage you and
others who are in a position to be heard,to put forth every effort to
accomplish in our day,at least a part of the things,which is making a
start on all the things,which as I see it,are so long past due.

To me,the color of a person's skin,has nothing to do with his
usefulness in accomplishing the things that always have,and still do,
lie ahead of the human race to accomplish,and it appears to me,that
the Creator had a purpose and use for all the peoples of his creation
to,or in order to accomplish whatever he had in mind for the human race
accomplish,so that we may all enjoy the greatest happiness.

And from my position,it appears that the sooner we humans of all
races and colors can realize these things,and stop acting like that we
think our Creator made a mistake because he made somebody else with a lighter
or darker color than we are,and accept all creation just as it is,and
get busy,by putting all our efforts togeather to accomplish the good things
that will benefit all colors alike(which plan,so far as I know ,has never
been tried teied,)From my position,it appears to me,we might have some
reasonvexpect that greater accomplishments and benefits that have been
with-held from mankind because of our attitude toward our Creator's
handiwork of different peoples,might soon begin to appezr,with a peace
and prosperity that has never before been known to the world.so that
happiness might abound through-out the Earth,and maybe it would be a step
in the direction of everybody having plenty and to spare,and un-afraid!

Otherwise,it seems to me that we may expect to keep having to put
up with such things as we have been,until such time as some future
generation sees fit to take advantage of the chance that now confronts
us,and reaps the better benefits,which are now open to us.

Hoping my long letter has not tried your patience,and that it will
be no hindpance to you in your undertakings,as mayor of the great city
of Atlanta.

Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Ge9rgia
Dear Sir:
A few weeks ago, I read in the papers and saw on television,
your testimony before the Senate Committee on Civil Rights
Legisla cion. Before that day, I had never heard of Mayor Ivan
Allen but after that day was overi I had gained respect and
admirajnon for a person who I fee has great courage.
For a person fr om the south to say that Congress should act
in the public acconnnodations f ield took great courage. It
even becomes more of a courageous act when it is so obvious
that it is political expedience to be against all 6ivil Rights
Legislation.
I'm sure the segregationists and racists have given you a hard
time for your words. But for this fellow American, you did
something that will long be remembered by· people who believe
in equality of all groups.
If you receive other letters of congradulations from this area 1
it is because I bave been constantly sounding off about your
impressive words. It is the least we can do for a person who
has furthered the cause of equality.
Here 's hoping you get re-elected to the year 2000.
Yours very truly,
UvLJ

For a person from the south to say that Congress should act
in the public accommodations field took great courage. It
even becomes more of a courageous act when it is so obvious
that it is political expedience to be against all Givil Rights

I'm sure the segregationists and racists have given you a hard
time for your words. But for this fellow American, you did
something that will long be remembered by people who believe

Dear Mr. Allen:
Mrs. Beiswanger and I moved in June from Milledgeville , where both of us wer e teaching in the Woman's
College , to t he Af.lanta area. I am teachi ng in the
philosophy depart ment of Georgia Stat e Colle ge.
Though our actual r esidence, as you see, is in
Decatur, we are thrilled to be in Atlanta. It is such
a beautiful city . We had been in and out of it many
t imes , but now we ar e really getting to know it .
I had intended to wri t e you s ooner because of
t he stand you took on the Civil Ri ghts proposals now
before t he Congress. Your positi on, as I see it, i s
both r i ght and sound .
One of t he reasons we took into f ull acp unt when
deciding to come to AUant a was i t s sensi ble way .of
dealing with the racial problem. We took pride in that
in before we came , and hope we can cont inue t o feel
good about the city in this respect, despit e the set
backs from time to time, and the obstinate.
Among swnmer explorations here, we took in the
Shakespeare productions of the Academy Theatre, expecting little and discovering much. Also we are finding
the art gall eries quite exciting on the whole. And it
is such a pleasure to be in a city built in a forest.
Our appreciation for all you are doing as mayor
and civic leader.

City of Atlanta

Dear Mr. Allen:

Mrs. Beiswanger and I moved in June from Milledge-
ville, where both of us were teaching in the Woman's
College, to the Aflanta area. I am teaching in the
philosophy department of Georgia State College.

Though our actual residence, as you see, is in
Decatur, we are thrilled to be in Atlanta, It is such
a beautiful city. We had been in and out of it many
times, but now we are really getting to know it.

I had intended to write you sooner because of
the stand you took on the Civil Rights proposals now
before the Congress, Your position, as I see it, is
both right and sound,

One of the reasons we took into full acount when
deciding to come to Atlanta was its sensible way of
dealing with the racial problem, We took pride in that
in before we came, and hope we can continue to feel
good about the city in this respect, despite the set
backs from time to time, and the obstinate.

Among summer explorations here, we took in the
Shakespeare productions of the Academy Theatre, expect-—
ing little and discovering much, Also we are finding
the art galleries quite exciting on the whole. And it
is such a pleasure to be in a city built in a forest.

Our appreciation for all you are doing as mayor
and civic leader,
Co ly yours,

George Beiswanger

Dear Mayor Allen:

Your recent speech to the Senate Commerce Committee
concerning public accomodations for all was very outstanding

and excellent. If we had more men of your caliber, we could
do away with all forms of segregation and discrimination,

Indications are that much progress has been accomplished
in Atlanta:;therefore, we assume that more pregress will be

a a

accomplished during this modernisitic age,

Yours Truly,

Mr. Ivan Allen

Mayor=- City of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta,Georgia

Dear Mr. Allen:

I would like to thank you for the wonderful representation
you gave to our city, during the hearings in Washington last
week. This is all we could ask for and all we could ever need.

I was born in this city=- 41 years aso=- and have been fortunate
enough to see the chanse coming=- and lucky enough to have made
the necessary changes and still bring up three children, without
any form of human prejudice. I have been ably assisted in this
by people like your father and your self, among others.

Let us all hope and pray that Atlanta will continue to be repre=
sented by someone with your outlook on the future as well as the

 
    
 

present.

Mayor Ivan Allen , Jr .
Atlanta
Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
Please accept my most sincere and hearty congratulations
on the brilliance, clarity, and meaning of your July 26th
statement to the Senate Connnerce Committee.
Among all the millions of words that have been spoken and
written on both sides of the segregation-integration issue , your statement stands out as a model of integrity
and as a rare example of what the United States of America really represents.
I feel certain that millions of others throughout this
nation, no matter what their racial, ethnic, or religious
backgrounds, join me in extending genuine gratitude for
your statement.
Several years ago, I had the good fortune to spend some
time in Atlanta. I found it a beautiful, energetic, and
thoroughly gracious city. I do not know if you were mayor
at that time , but I am certain that your administration
has helped to make Atlanta a still finer city.
I send you my best wishes for continued success and my
hopes that your civic career will prosper. Your statement marks you as one of an all too rare breed of public official. Would that we had more like you.
With respect and gratitude,
Jess Lowen

Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
Atlanta
Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

Please accept my most sincere and hearty congratulations
on the brilliance, clarity, and meaning of your July 26th
statement to the Senate Commerce Committee.

Among all the millions of words that have been spoken and
written on both sides of the segregation-integration is-
sue, your statement stands out as a model of integrity
and as a rare example of what the United States of Ameri-
ca really represents.

I feel certain that millions of others throughout this
nation, no matter what their racial, ethnic, or religious
backgrounds, join me in extending genuine gratitude for
your statement.

Several years ago, I had the good fortune to spend some
time in Atlanta. I found it a beautiful, energetic, and
thoroughly gracious citye I do not know if you were mayor
at that time, but I am certain that your administration
has helped to make Atlanta a still finer city.

I send you my best wishes for continued success and my
hopes that your civic career will prosper. Your state-

ment marks you as one of an all too rare breed of pub-
lic official. Would that we had more like you.

With respect and gratitude,

JI baes Z. GW ey

Jess Lowen

Dear Mayor Allen:

I am a student at the University of Chicago and I
also visit fre-vently in New York City. Away from home,
I often meet people very interested in the racial situa-
tion in the South. I am never ashamed to say I am from
Atlanta and I am able to compare Atlanta's progress in
social justice favorably with most northern cities. I
am proud that the names Hartsfield and McGill are those
most often associated with Atlanta by non southerners.

Your brilliant testimony before the Senate Commerce
Committee today will add still more to our city's lustre.
Your contribution to the cause of human rights was inestim-
able and I am certain it will earn you national esteem equal
to other great Atlantans. For myself I am enormously pleased
that you chose to commit yourself so unequivocally on this
important issue.

Under your leadership, Atlanta's future is bright.
Yours respectfully,

Daniel R. Gross

Dear Mr. Mayor:
The television news reports and the newspaper

Mayor Ivan Allen
city of _tlanta
Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Mr, Mayor:

The television news reports and the newspaper
accounts of your appearance before the Senate
committee on the civil rights issue left me proud
of the city of my birth tonight.

Don't let the "junior" on my name fool you; I was

a reporter for the old Georgian-American when Bill
Hartsfield was a young alderman in 1926, I followed
his actions in preventing racial discord when he
was mayor, and liked the way he handled matters,

Now you have proved more than a worthy successor,
in my view; you've gone a step further, a long step,

Economic integration cannot be withheld any longer.
It is inevitable; it must come, Social integration
is another matter, We have no choice on the

former; we do have a choice on the latter,

This is one of the key areas of reasoning, in my
view. If it has been used in treating with the
die hards, it has not been so reported in the
press of the North, where I have lived most of
my adult years. It may be worth considering as we
painfully creep toward giving the Negro his long
overdue due, It may possibly be an argument to
use in hastening the day of equal economic rights
and treatment,

Ad WV,
William Voigt,/Jr.
