The .Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
An attitude of fear and resentment is fast developing in the residents of
a proud Southwest Atlanta community. Fear of losing the new homes
they love at staggering financial losses and resentment at their elected
city officials for no assistance. If the block busting" tactics employed ·
in this community prove successful, all Cascade Heights will quickly
feel the affect. Yes, all of Atlanta will suffer through the Loss of long
time white residents to the suburbs carrying with them a deep seated
and justifie d hat r ed, reduced property values of entire Southwest
A tlanta, a nd a d r astic curtailm ent of city revenue.
Our neighbo r hood of P eyton a nd Utoy F or e st is composed of ho me s th at
range in price fr o m $21,000 - $ 28,000 and we are surrounded by all
wh it e commun ities . A petitiion rea dily signe d by all ho me owners in
Pey to n and Utoy F o r est cle arly indicate s t h at we d e sire to re m ain a ll
wh ite . We b e lie ve the e ntire f uture of Southwest A tlanta a nd t h e overall
good of our c ity can b e st b e serve d by a llowing our community to remain
unchanged.
L is t ed b e l ow are som e o f the ' 'b lock busting " t a ctics be i n g u s e d to harass
and fr i ghten our ne ighbo rs:
1.
Negroes cons t antly r iding through the neighb orho od
stopping and pointing at h ouses. This area i s well
off the ma in thoroughfare and many children play
here. A majority of these cars have out o f town
licences indicating they may be paid to agitate.
�Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr ••••..•• Page Two
2.
Night telephone calls from agents of Callaway Realty
to 15 - 20 homes on each street asking for listings.
These agents also infer that they have secured listings
from home owners in this area. No home owner in
our area has listed his home with a Negro realty
company. You could stop this intimidation.
3.
Realty salesmen from T. M. Alexander constantly
riding through our neighborhood, stopping at every
opportunity and questioning home owners about the
sale of their property.
We in particular and all Atlanta in general urgently need the influence
and persuasiveness of your office to prevent our loss. We plan to make
a sincere effort to take all legal steps possible to protect the sanctity
and value of our community. We sincerely request your help.
Yours very truly,

time white residents to the suburbs carrying with them a deep seated
and justified hatred, reduced property values of entire Southwest
Atlanta, and a drastic curtailment of city revenue,
Our neighborhood of Peyton and Utoy Forest is composed of homes that
range in price from $21,000 - $28,000 and we are surrounded by all
white communities. A petitiion readily signed by all home owners in
Peyton and Utoy Forest clearly indicates that we desire to remain all
white, We believe the entire future of Southwest Atlanta and the overall
good of our city can best be served by allowing our community to remain
unchanged,
Listed below are some of the "block busting" tactics being used to harass
and frighten our neighbors:
1. Negroes constantly riding through the neighborhood
stopping and pointing at houses. This area is well

Dear Mayor Allen ;
About fifteen months ago my wife and I purchased the home
£or which we have been working f or the twenty years we
have been married . It is located in the Utoy- Peyton For est
area in the Southwest section of Atlanta . we started with
drapes , carpets , and many other things that go into a home ,
and in about three (3) months here comes the negroes , and it
has been a continual fight since that time to save our homes e
We have owned and paid taxes on three different homes in the
Southwest Atlanta section in these twenty years , so naturally
we feel that we have had a small part in building this great
City of ours of which we elected you Mayor o
We have voted for many bonds in the past to help make our City
great . For the last several years the taxpayers that have
been paying for most of the bonds , have had to fight continually to hold their homes , schools and churches .
Now we are being asked to vote for another bond - Eighty Million
Dollars worth . We all want to- continue to help our City to grow ,
and like any business, it will have to have additional revenue
to do so . When one has to fight so hard to hold on to his
possessions , there is the question in one ' s mind whether you
would want to vote for something that would keep you investing
in something you will eventually lose .
I
Mro Mayor it is my humble opinion that you and the AldermaNic

Not very pleasant to know that you have worked for many,
many years, are finally able to give your family what you
have always wanted for them, then, by no fault of your

usually one, as has been proven in other parts of the City,
who will panic - then your community usually goes.

it is time your eyes were opened to what is’ happening and

My dear Mayor Allen:
Home ownership and l::md ownership has been the very foundation of our
great nation. Through engendered pride and determin tion, our forebears set
the path for pre-eminence of America in world ·affairs.
However hazardous land and home ownership may have been to our forefathers, todays insidious movements present equally heart breaking risks.
About two years ago I purchased a home after retirement in the Utoy ForestPeyton Forest area. Along with fifty or more others in this area I invested
all my savings and mortgaged a limited income.
Our little neighborhood is new. We t ake nride in home ownership.
Collectively our investment in Atlanta runs to about d~l.2 million. Now we
find the future uncertain. Negro interests are trying to move in. Pressure
and unsc~pulous practices are being applied. Open as well as covert t acti cs
are evident. The objactice - break the community and buy property at a
fr action of its real value.
What can we do Mr . Mayor ? We are trying to stand together and holj our
community intact. This is an appeal to you - use your very powerful office
to give us aid and assistance. At least in a moral way through Negro real
estate interests.
May we count on your support?

Dear Mayor Allen:
I have been told that you, as well as the Aldermailic Board, are trying to
help the white citizens of the Southwest section stay in the City of Atlantao
I understand that a representative of Southwest Inco had a meeting with you
sometime back to discuss the negro encroachment problem. Also that there
is a plan to extend Westview Cemetery to Peyton Road and Zone a strip of
land M-1 to provide a buffer zone for the white citizens of Southwesto
I live in Peyton/Utoy Forest and it is becoming increasingly apparent that
no one is doing anything to help uso Our area represents approximately 60
homes, valued at between $21,000. and $28,000o eacho This not only represents
considerable tax income for the city but also contains many civic minded voterso
Both of these factors will be a considerable loss to the city should we be
forced by negro encroachment to leave the city limits behind us.
I might also point out that as soon as the negros force us out, they will next
force out the people on Peyton Road, Sewell Road, Audubon Forest and finally
the entire C:-.scade Heights section. I don't believe I need remind you how many
votes came from this section for you in the last electiono
Were we foolish to vote f or you?
Should we accept the negro encroachment and plan to move out of Atlanta?.
I ask this because few of us will stay in Atlanta City Limits if our own
elected officials do not give us help in our time of needo
I would certainly like to have my confid enc e in our offici:-.ls restored, and
m uld like to hear from you pertaining to your plans for the Southwest sectiono
Awaiting your replyo

512 Haldane Drive S.W.
Atlanta, Georgia
July 26, 1962
Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
This letter is in behalf of the residents of Peyton-Utoy
Forest and the citizens of Southwest Atlanta.
As you probably know, quite a problem has been brought about
recently by the fact that Negroes are attempting to "run" the
white residents out of this area. Realizing that there is no
law in Atlanta restricting areas by keeping inharmonious racial
groups from l i ving together in the same neighborhood, we appeal
to you to assist us with this problem.
Of course, you realize that many families have much to lose
by having to move out of this connnunity, and not only that, the
city of Atlanta would be losing quite a bit of tax money if these
residents were forced to move out into the suburbs, or even out
of the city altogether. Also, keep in mind that uprisings such
as this will keep newcomers from wanting to move into our city for
fear of lack of security in establishing a home.
Some of our prominent government officials such as Senator Brown,
Jim Aldredge, John White and numerous others who are dedicated in
making Atlanta a prosperous city, live out in this area and I feel
sure they will assist you in taking a fair stand on this matter.
Mayor Allen, you cannot realize how a problem such as this can
affect a person. It interferes with performance on their jobs, and
I personally know of several instances. One of my neighbors is spending much time and money in the doctor's office due to the fact that
her health has become worse as a result of worrying about losing her
home. And speaking for all of the homeowners in this area, I can
assure you the attitude towards our city's government is becoming
demoralized.
·
If you think we are taking the wrong approach, I would appreciate it if you would take the time to offer us your explanation.
otherwise, I will assume that you take the same stand as the residents
of the Peyton-utoy Forest.
Sincerely,
�

Dear Mayor Allen:
I am writing you this letter as a res i dent of Peyton-Utoy
Forest which is located off Peyton and Harlan Roads in Southwest Atlanta. Since procuring my new home in December, 1961,
I have become deeply disturbed with a most unpleasant situation
which has developed in my community. It seems that a few "imported" Negro citizenry who live in various sections of our
fai r ci ty are determined to drive the Peyton-Utoy Forest residents out of Southwest Atlanta and perhaps out of the entire
ci ty of Atlanta which i s being rapidly absorbed by the Negro
popul at i on. This penetration is obvi ously aimed at gaining
control of the entire Southwest area whi ch contains many beautiful homes and thousands of civic-minded White citizens.
As a homeowner, I have been subjected to constant harras sment and unrest by these few Colored citizens who are bent on
the successful employment of Chicago "block-busting" tactics.
Residents of my community have been plagued with numerous phone
calls and visits by Negro real estate brokers soliciting listings in our all-white community. Each day children are required
to be overly cautious while playing because of the constant
stream of ~egro vehicles touring our area in an attempt to
create unrest and pani c. We a.re finding it increasingly more
difficult, if not impossible, to persuade our friends and other
prospective homeo-wners to settle in our community and enjoy the
fellowship and home life .which characterize our quite, peaceloving, neighborhood.
Mayor Allen, we are tired of being persecuted; and we tremble
at the thought of watching our $21,000 to $28,000 homes decrease
in value because of an unwarranted, uncalled-for attack by profit-minded Negroes. We earnestly solicit your help in stopping
this encroachment in our community and in Southwest Atlanta in
general. I have lived in Metropolitan Atlanta all of my life and
in the city limits for twenty years. I like Atlanta and what it
stands for; but if these block-busting tactics continue and no

Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Major Allen:
Recently I wrote you a letter regarding the negro block busting attemps
which are being waged in the Peyton-Utoy Forest Commnity in Southwest
Atlanta. As a resident of this commnity, I thought you would like
to have a copy of the petition which was signed by all residents of
our community. a
This petition clearly points out that we are not interested in selling
our homes, but we are constantly bothered by phone calls, letters,
and visits from negro real estate brokers. These negro brokers know
about this petition but continue to solicit listings in our all white
community. These attemps are becoming extremely annoying.
I earnestly request you to use your influense to persuade these
negro brokers to abandon their planned attack on our community. I am
enclosing an article which appeared in a recent issue of the \iest End
Star. This article sums up the block busting attemps in our community.
I would like to hear of your plans for curbing the unrest which now
exists in Southwest Atlanta.
Sincerely,
