Because of this shocking murder of an innocent youth, shot from a passing car, the weekend disorders may have been an understandable reaction of frustrated people, trapped in conditions they cannot change, faced with problems they cannot solve alone. But disorder and violence in the street solve nothing. Those so-called "leaders" who whip up the emotions of these people have a record of zero on the scoreboard. Atlanta's poverty people need schools, jobs, decent places to live. There is no magic wand t o wave to get these things . But throwing rocks and firebombs won't get them either.

TALMADGE September 8, 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Ivan: I want to express to you my personal appreciation of the fine job which you have done in coping with problems arising out of the firemen's strike and the racial disorders earlier this week. At all times, you have been dignified and fair in your approach, but when necessary, you have shown that you can also be firm. In dealing with lar ge groups or masses of people in an emotionallycharged atmosphere, good leadership demands not only a willingness to be conciliatory and understanding of the other fellow's problems, but also letting everyone know that unrea sonable and disorderly actions will not be tolerated. You have certainly displayed these qualities to an admirable de gree unde r very trying circumstances, I think one of the tragic mistakes made by the city administrations and police officials in other cities where these riots have gotten out of h and h as been to tempori ze and tolerate too much from the radical extremist l eaders. This enables the radical lea d er to grow in strength in the eyes of th e mob, and he bec omes doubly difficult to deal with l ater o n. Also, in th e se other cities, they a llowed thems e l ves to be p ersuaded to withdra w police enforcement and protection at the outset of the trouble, thus leaving the arena c omplete ly dominated by the radical l ead ers and with no l aw and order there to give aid a nd comfort to th e decent N egro citizens. Fortunately for us, you and Chief Jenkins did not make these tactical mistakes, for had you done so, the radical l eaders would h ave had a clear field in which to gain momentum for their disorders, and it would have b ee n a thous a ndfold more difficult for the police to go back in a nd quell the disorders at a later date. Althou gh things have quieted down and s eem to b e in good shape today on the racial front, we will a ll be hoping and praying tha t no furth er trouble arises. I feel a lot better a bout the situation knowing tha t you and Chief J e nkins are following a wis e c ours e in di sp l aying th e qua litie s o f good l eader ship which are so desperately needed in these situa tions . I am p r oud of the fact tha t so many of our decent Negro citizens had the courage and good sense �- 2 - to deplore the violent approach to the solution of racial problems advocated by Stokely Carmichael and SNCC, but many of these Negro leaders could not have spoken out effectively if our City Government had not provided a proper atmosphere and demonstrated that these citizens would be backed up by a City policy of fairness and firmness which would not permit the radicals to take over.

At all times, you have been dignified and fair in your approach, but when necessary, youhave shown that you can also be firm. In dealing with large groups or masses of people in an emotionally- charged atmosphere, good leadership demands not only a willingness to be conciliatory and understanding of the other fellow's problems, but also letting everyone know that unreasonable and disorderly actions will not be tolerated, You have certainly displayed these qualities to an admirable degree under very trying circumstances. I think one of the tragic mistakes made by the city administrations and police officials in other cities where these riots have gotten out of hand has been to temporize and tolerate too much from the radical extremist leaders. This enables the radical leader to grow in strength in the eyes of the mob, and he becomes doubly difficult to deal with later on, Also, in these other cities, they allowed themselves to be persuaded to withdraw police enforcement and protection at the outset of the trouble, thus leaving the arena completely dominated by the radical leaders and with no law and order there to give aid and comfort to the decent Negro citizens. Fortunately for us, you and Chief Jenkins did not make these tactical mistakes, for had you done so, the radical leaders would have had a clear field in which to gain momentum for their disorders, and it would have been a thousandfold more difficult for the police to go back in and quell the disorders at a later date. Although things have quieted down and seem to be in good shape today on the racial front, we will all be hoping and praying that no further trouble arises, I feel a lot better about the situation knowing that you and Chief Jenkins are following a wise course in displaying the qualities of good leader- ship which are so desperately needed in these situations, I] amproud of the fact that so many of our decent Negro citizens had the courage and good sense to deplore the violent approach to the solution of racial problems advocated by Stokely Carmichael and SNCC, but many of these Negro leaders could not have spoken out effectively if our City Government had not provided a proper atmosphere and demonstrated that these citizens would be backed up by a City policy of fairness and firmness which would not permit the radicals to take over.

Text Any textual data included in the document 1174 Zimmer Drive, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia September 8, 1966. Dear Ivan: There are many reasons why I value your friendship so highly. Foremost among these, of course, is the fact that your father was one of my staunchest supporters during the many years I was with the Atlanta Retail Merchants Association. He was a great encouragement to me and stood behind me in everything I did. I shall remember always that you cancelled an out-of-town engagement to be the speaker at the testimonial given Reba and me by the Association shortly before my retirement. That alone would endear you to me forever. Then you had the vision and courage to give Atlanta Big League Baseball and Football. Baseball is my favorite sport, and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to see right here in Atlanta all of the best baseball players in the world. And when Atlanta gets into a World Series, as I believe she will within the next few years, I just hope I shall be fortunate enough to see some of those games. Just recently you have conducted yourself magnificently in connection with the Firemen's Strike; and what now appears to have been a Castro-inspired riot, through some hot-headed revolution- aries in our midst. Well, there are many other reasons, and I just felt, in a time of great stress, that you should be told your friends are standing solidly behind you in your efforts to make our beloved Atlanta a beacon-light city for all to see.

Text Any textual data included in the document This letter was sent to the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution today. September 19, 1966 To the Editor: UPGRADED or DEGRADED? It 4s hereby suggested that citisens of Atlanta proclaim a MAYOR IVAN ALLSN APPRECIATION DAY in honor of the illustrious (and commensense) mayor, He was directly responsible for quelling possible riots instigated by angry individuals giving vent to their feelings after unfortunate shooting incidents on North Boulevard Street ani other areas, | A weiter has viewed his opinion that the scene of the mayor being jostled from an automobile top to the grouml only to land on his knees before the rioting crowl was ‘degrading.’ Frankly, my first thought was that the mayor was most agile in picking himself up before anyone could start a count—iowm to ten. As can be expected of any brave ani honorable General he was there ready to go into battle with his men on the battlefield, if need be. However, the peppery mayor was on the seene placating in the capacity of peacemaker. The aforementioned writer who 'fired* me up to write this letter has added that it was a ‘sickening experience* to see the mayor jeered and chanted dow on Boulevard. Just a reminder that another peacemaker at another time carried his cross to Calvary amidst jeers and cheers ani has been revered for two thousani years for his complete dedication to his God«given purpose of bringing light ani truth ani peace into the world.
