OMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMIS«;I:;:
ESTABLISHED BY THE llUYOR AND THE BOARD OP A LDERMEN, NOVEMBER, l P55
llOI
CITY RA.LL, ATLANTA GEORGIA 10101
A CITIZENS' AGENDA
FIRST QUARTERLY PROGRAM REPORT
Mayor Allen, in installing the members, said:
"As Atlanta's neighborhoods have grown up and spread out, also they have grown apart.
Despite the instantaneous speed of modern electronic communications, it has become
increasingly difficult to relate the interests of various neighborhoods one with
another in the rapidly changing social, cultural and economic fabric of our city.
For that is the way I see Atlanta -- as a group of more than 500,000 people with
the common interest of making Atlanta always a better place to live in, to do all
possible to make it become America's finest city. It is in the spirit of this
common i nterest that this Commission has been created -- As I wish you Godspeed
in your activities. I pledge you the enthusiastic cooperation of your City
Government."
* * * * * * *
The Community Relations Commission of the City of Atlanta inherited an unfinished
agenda from an Ad Hoc Human Relations Committee, which was appointed by the Board
of Aldermen in August 1966.
In July 1966 a meeting had been called by "Gr.ass Roots" Community leaders to consider how Atlanta might avoid the disturbances that had erupted in other cities.
(It should be noted that this was held before the disturbances in Summerhill and
Boulevard, in August).
A resolution was adopted at the meeting, asking the Alderman to appoint a Committee
to work towards the establishment of a biracial, human relations committee for the
City of Atlanta.
On August 1st, the Board of Aldermen did adopt a resolution calling for the appointment of such a c ommittee, to be composed of the Chairman of the Finance, Parks,
Police, Public Works I, Public Works II, Urban Renewal Policy and Zoning Committees
of the Board of Aldermen, and a committee "to be selected and designated by the
Atlanta Summit Conference," with the Vice-Mayor an ex-officio member.
The Ordinance specified that the Cammi ttee should survey "the services and facili tiet:
which are furnished in the areas of the City known as Blue Heaven, Vin e City,
Mechanicsville, Summerhill, Cabbage Town and such as other areas as may be determined by the Committee and to make recommendations to the ~ayor and Board of
Aldermen for the furnishing of necessary services and facilities •• which will
standardize these services furnished in the above-mentioned order as with all
other areas of the City."
The Ordinance further authorized the Committee to "formulate and present recommendations for the Membership and formati on of a Human Re lations Commission for the
City of Atlanta together with ·an estima t e d financia l statement."
* *
* * * *
Such a Committee was appointed, and was· convened by Mayor Ivan Allen to hear
reports fr om heads of major departments a bout improvements in City Ser vices
into substandard areas and to take a bus tour of various s ubstanda r d and Ur ban
Renewa 1 areas •
At the second meeting of the Committee the advisability of inviting persons from
these areas to a Public Meeting was discussed and it was agreed that such a
hearing would be held to better advantage if and when there was a pe nnanent
Commission with a staff to follow through on the problems brought up. And so the
Committee, with the Vice-Mayor serving as chairman, turned its attention to the
recommendation of the creation of a permanent biracial Community Relations
Commission.
�- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -- - - - -- - - - - -- - -- -
The Ordinance establishing the Commission, which is an amendment to the City Charter
was adopted on November 8, 1966. The appointments made by the Mayor, to the 20
Member Commission, were approved by the Board of Aldermen. The Organizational
. Meeting was held on December 14, 1966 with speeches by Mayor Allen and Mr. John
\ Feild, Director of the Community Relations Service of the u. $. Conference of
Mayors.
'
* * * * * * *
The Commission, at its first regular meeting in January elected an Executive
Director, (whose appointment was approved at the next meeting of the Board of
Aldermen on February 7, 1967) and adopted as its first- Agenda the unfi~ished ·
business of the Ad Hoc Human Relations Committee - to hold hearings, both at City
Hall and in specified neighborhoods, where Citizens might state their needs.
On February 16th, an overflow crowd appeared in the "Aldermanic Chamber to speak and
-to , l:isten. 11 Speakers included a member of the State Board of Family & Children's
. ,Sc r'1ices, a dean of a school of Social Work, representatives fr~m a Youth Council,
iJdi~idual citizens from different areas. Through April, five meetings have been
held to hear from ten to twelve neighborhoods. Three or more members of the
C0mmission have been assigned as a Team for each area. Information Profiles on each
n~ighborhood have been prepared so Commission Members and others can better u~derstand the importance of various requests. These Profiles plus detailed minutes of
each meeting provide a unique window for looking into these areas, each with unique
problems reflecting its own characteristic -- phys~cal, economic, political -and yet, all together giving patterns of problems.
* * * * * * *
Most of the requests have concerned the most basic public services, with little
reference to civil rights or discrimination. Decent housing, safe streets and sidewalks, recreation, adequate sewers and sanitary services, increased police patroling
-- these are among the most frequently ment~oned items. In some areas there. are
complaints from home owners about a strict code enforcement. Io others, the com:P!aints are that landlords are not required to meet standards. Throughout there is
confusion and anxiety about possibilities of displacement and relocation because
0£ code enforcement, urban renewal, highways, etc. (At the request of the residents
a special meeting was scheduled. about the various city plaQs in one of . the areas.)
Public Housing is an area unto itself, with many questions about che actual amounts
of rents and charges, but most important, questions about the authority of the
manager and the lack of feeling of freedom and independence to question and complain
The month to month lease ~nd the authority of the manager to evict ( and until the
recent Supreme Court ruling, that without written reason) has created a situation
where many tenants feel they have no recourse -- particularly in view of the cost
of moving and the difficulty of finding other accomodations if one is evicted from
public housing. A request to help "stabilize a neighborhood" has opened up the
subject of racial patterns of housing. The Commission has collected information and
insights and is now attempting to develop realistic recommendations for all the
various segments of the community wh-ich are involved.
In areas where few residents have cars, public transpot'tation becomes of r:mch more
importance, economically and socially. The lack of streets and sidewalks, much
less public transportation in many cases accounts for apparent lack of neighborhood
spirit. Holes in sidewalks and dimly lit .s treets also become more important when
travel is on foot.
Everywhere there is a plea for recreation - places for children and young people to
play, equipment, supervisors - young and old. The scarcity of parents at home makes
this need especially acute. There have been many suggestions for areas in the
neighborhoods suitable for recreation and play areas. Pleas for coordination of
pttblic services to provide maximum use· of -- for example, use of school yards for
recreation, use of public health facilities f or planned parenthood and other
clinics; dovetailing of code enforcement and planning programs - has been both
implicit and explicit. The inconvenience of the present dearth of information
services at City Hall has also been noted and appreciation expressed for the
evening hearings to register requests and complaints. Running throughout the
connnents is a healthy combination of idealism - (citizens expect good pub).ic
services) - and skepticism - (We 've been talking about this, :,/fnce God r.w.de men·")
but above all, the feeling this C_ommunity Relations C-Ommi&sion -r.epresents just about
the last chance of Getting Something Done.
�And ha s Something Been Done? Some action, even if it is only an inquiry, has been
t aken on every r equest that has been made. Some report has been or will be made to
t he indi v idua 1. Street lights have been scheduled. Trash picked up. Some housing
r,rob lems straightened out -- The . various departments of the City and other agencies
have been cooperative and where possible, have complied with the requests for
service. It is apparent, howe ver, that the inadequacy of services stems not so much
from the insensitivity of administrative officials as from the limit of the resources
pre sently available to them.
* * * * * * *
The function of a "Complaint Bureau" is a valid one. The function of a communication
center is a valid one. These, the Commission will continue to perform.
The ne x t phase, however, in its program is to move f r om the specific to the general,
from the remedial to the preventive, from acting as an agent to acting as an
innovator. To do this, the Co111mission plans first to meet with Heads of Departments
and Agencies and to e xpand its organization in 3 di r ections. Already 12 individuals
in professional positions have been invited to serve as a Technical Advisory
Committee to the Director and Chairman.
Advi sory Committees to the Connnission ia 12 areas will be named. These wi ll include
individuals already informed and those Hho want to be informed. They will duplicate
the cross section composition of the Commission and will enable the Commission to
make more realistic recommendations to the Mayor and the Aldermen. The areas in
which Advisory Committees are anticipated are -- Housing, Education, Employment,
Poli ce and Law Enforcement, Recreation, Public Accomodations, Registration & Voting,
Muni cipal Services, Welfare and Public Assistance, Social and Health Services,
communications within & between Groups and Voluntary Associations.
A week after the first hearing at City Hall, on citizens needs, the Commission held
a second Public Rearing and invited civic organizations and agencies to describe
their programs and make suggestions to the Commission~
50 were represented and expressed support and offered their cooperation with the Commission.
In each of the neighborhoods visi.ted, the Commission Team will keep in touch with
various land resource people, in order to have continuous communication following
up on the · hearing. With a solid background of 3 months of daily contacts with the
needs of citizens and administration, the Commission is now ready to accept these
offers of help and to call on interested individuals and groups to join in developing
a Citizens' Agenda to carry out the following functions as described in the City
Ordinance:
To foster mutual understanding, tolerance, and respect among all
economic, social, religious and ethnic groups in the city."
"To help make it possible for each citizen, regardless of race, color,
creed, religion, national origin or ancestry, to develop his talents
and abilities without limitation,"
"To aid in permitting the City of Atlanta to benefit from the fullest
realization of its human resources."
"To investigate, discourage -and seek to prevent discriminatory
practices against any individual because of race, color, creed,
religion, national origin or ancestry."
"To attempt to act as conciliator in controversies involving human
relations."
ttT o cooperate in the development of educational programs dedicated
to the improvement of human relations with, and to enlist the
support . of, civil leaders, civic, religious, veterans, labor,
indu strial, commercial and eleemosynary groups; and private
agencies engaged in the inculcation of ideals of tolerance,
·mutual respect and understanding."

ESTABLISHED BY THE MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN, NOVEMBER, 1060
1803 CITY HALL, ATLANTA GEORGIA 30308 TELEPHONE 588-4408 EXT. 433
A CITIZENS' AGENDA
FIRST QUARTERLY PROGRAM REPORT —
Mayor Allen, in installing the members, said:
"As Atlanta's neighborhoods have grown up and spread out, also they have grown apart.
Despite the instantaneous speed of modern electronic communications, it has become
increasingly difficult to relate the interests of various neighborhoods one with
another in the rapidly changing social, cultural and economic fabric of our city.
For that is the way I see Atlanta -- as a group of more than 500,000 people with
the common interest of making Atlanta always a better place to live in, to do all
possible to make it become America's finest city. It is in the spirit of this
common interest that this Commission has been created -- As I wish you Godspeed
in your activities. I pledge you the enthusiastic cooperation of your City
Government ,"'
ke * * F eK OF
The Community Relations Commission of the City of Atlanta inherited an unfinished
agenda from an Ad Hoc Human Relations Committee, which was appointed by the Board
of Aldermen in August 1966,
In July 1966 a meeting had been called by "Grass Roots" Community leaders to con-
sider how Atlanta might avoid the disturbances that had erupted in other cities,
(It should be noted that this was held before the disturbances in Summerhill and
Boulevard, in August).
A resolution was adopted at the meeting, asking the Alderman to appoint a Committee
to work towards the establishment of a biracial, human relations committee for the
City of Atlanta,
On August lst, the Board of Aldermen did adopt a resolution calling for the appoint-
ment of such a committee, to be composed of the Chairman of the Finance, Parks,
Police, Public Works I, Public Works II, Urban Renewal Policy and Zoning Committees
of the Board of Aldermen, and a committee "to be selected and designated by the
Atlanta Summit Conference," with the Vice-Mayor an ex-officio member,
The Ordinance specified that the Committee should survey "the services and facilities
which are furnished in the areas of the City known as Blue Heaven, Vine City,
Mechanicsville, Summerhill, Cabbage Town and such as other areas as may be de-
termined by the Committee and to make recommendations to the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen for the furnishing of necessary services and facilities -- which will
standardize these services furnished in the above-mentioned order as with all
other areas of the City."
The Ordinance further authorized the Committee to "formulate and present recommen~
dations for the Membership and formation of a Human Relations Commission for the
City of Atlanta together with ‘an estimated financial statement."
‘BO OR OW A Oe OK
Such a Committee was appointed, and was convened by Mayor Ivan Allen to hear
reports from heads of major departments about improvements in City Services
into substandard areas and to take a bus tour of various substandard and Urban
Renewal areas. }
At the second meeting of the Committee the advisability of inviting persons from
these areas to a Public Meeting was discussed and it was agreed that such a
hearing would be held to better advantage if and when there was a permanent
Commission with a staff to follow through on the problems brought up. And so the
Committee, with the Vice-Mayor serving as chairman, turned its attention to the
recommendation of the creation of a permanent biracial Community Relations
Commission,
The Ordinance establishing the Commission, which is an amendment to the City Charter
was adopted on November 8, 1966, The appointments made by the Mayor, to the 20
Member Commission, were approved by the Board of Aldermen. The Organizational
. Meeting was held on December 14, 1966 with speeches by Mayor Allen and Mr. John
. Feild, Director of the Community Relations Service of the U. S. Conference of
Mayors.
a a i i ie
The Commission, at its first regular meeting in January elected an Executive
Director, (whose appointment was approved at the next meeting of the Board of
Atdermen on February 7, 1967) and adopted as its first Agenda the unfinished.
business of the Ad Hoc Human Relations Committee - to hold hearings, both at City
Hall and in specified neighborhoods, where Citizens might state their needs.
On February 16th, an overflow crowd appeared in the "Aldermanic Chamber to speak and
to: listen." Speakers included a member of the State Board of Family & Children's
. Services, a dean of a school of Social Work, representatives from a Youth Council,
iadividual citizens from different areas. Through April, five meetings have been
held to hear from ten to twelve neighborhoods. Three or more members of the
Commission have been assigned as a Team for each area. Information Profiles on each
neighborhood have been prepared so Commission Members and others can better under-
stand the importance of various requests, These Profiles plus detailed minutes of
each meeting provide a unique window for looking into these areas, each with unique
problems reflecting its own characteristic -- physical, economic, political --
and yet, all together giving patterns of problems.

The a ccount of an encounter with the City of Atlanta Police,

Tuesday Night,
Apt. 10, Atlanta , Ga.
At appro~imately 9 PM to 9:30 PM , May 2, 1967, I was walking south on the west
s i de of Peachtree between 10th and 11th streets. I had been to the Pos t Office
on 14th nd ha d parked on Peachtree a nd was going to make a telephone ca ll a t the
Rexal l Drug Store. Nea r 10th Street I noticed two men in business s uits who
l ooked to be in t heir thirtie s forcing an old man across to the east side of Peach•
tree to a late model automobile with no obvious markings . Each of the younger
men had the old man (he wa s white in maybe his early fiftie s ) by his arms and were
t wisting them slightly f orc ing him a cross the stree t. The old man himself was
offering no discernable resistence and looked in good condition. He carried hims e lf well. The old man was forced . into the car to the rea r seat and the other two
got in the front seat and clo&ed the doors~
The first thought that entered my mind was that of citizens in a city who observe
violence and do nothing to aid the victum. This situation did not look right.
I cros sed the street after all three men were in the car and walked behind the car
deliberately looking at the liscense plates which were ordinary Georgia, Fulton
County, 1966 plates . I stepped onto the sidewalk and walked toward the front of
the ca r. As I pa ssed the ~ront ca r door the man sitting next to the curb said:
"He looked at the liscense plates !"
I rea ched approximately the front wheel of the car a nd turned a nd looked through
the front windshield in order to clearly see the faces. At this point the man
sitting next to the curb jumped out of the car and said to me, "What do you want,
mister?"
I &aid, "What's going on here?" (Thi was · the first remark that I had -· spoken which
was in response to him and ha d made no attempt to interfere.)
He said, We' re the police."
_I said, "Show me your badge, mis ter."
We had been s tanding two or three feet apart . He immediately shoved me ca using
me t o lose my balance . He showed me nothing. I turned and stumbling tried to run.
He was right behind me, but I managed to get into the middle of Peachtree before
he dragged me down onto the street. The other one piled on a nd I s truggled, not
hitting t hem but trying t o throw them off. I began yelling, "Help ! I don't
know who these two guys are . Somebody help me! " Nobody came over. In the middle
of Peachtree a pair of handcuffs was gott en out and finally put on we. I was
f or ced ba ck to the car, but they were ·unable to force me into the car. During
this ent ire t ime I continued to yell, "Help, I don't know who these two guys are : 11
Aft er I was forced back to the car a bystander sa id, "They're the police. You're
in good ha nds . "
Since I did not know the bystander and -did not cons ider ha ndcuffs very good ba dges
of i dent ifica tion, I continued t o yell. By this time they had fo r c ed me to the
trunk of the ca r with my feet pn the ground and pressed by torso a cross the trunk.
Fina lly a bys t ander, a Chinese, said, "What are you two doing to him?" and one of
them said, "We !re the pol i ce."
The.. Ch ine e s aid ,
"Then show him your ~adge ."
At this point one of them for the first and only time pulled out a badge and holding
it l ow, briefly fl as hed it and then put it back in his pocket. I yelled to the Chinese
"Get his name and badge number."
\
�2.
The Chinese t hen said , "You a re in good hands, you go on with them."
I was by no means assured nd continued to yell hoping that a uniformed patrol•
man would show up . Fina lly a paddy wagon came screaming up and as the driver
jumped out I said , " Boy, am I glad to see you." The wagon driver later said that
his name was Ray .
I offered no resistenc e to being pla ced in the wagon and stopped yelling. Sitting
there in the wagon at 10th and Peachtree I became aware of two new faces in plain
clothe who began talking to the men who had jumped me, and I Aeganwemanding
their name and ba dge numbers. Finally one of them stuck his head . in the door of
the wagon and sa id that his name was Metzger (or s omething roughly like that) a nd
th the was superintendent of detectives. I briefly related to him the circums tances
of my ob se rving the old man be ing forced across the street to an unmarked car and my ,
subsequent invo lvement with the other t wo men and told him, "I don't mind an
hvllCHt cop, but you've got two louses out there."
I later discovered I was charged with using profanity to an officer, and thia remark
was the extent of my profanity.
Sitting cneL~ in the wagon the old man was finally put in with me, ana he said
that his name was Robert Anderaon from Decatur, Ga. I underatand that he was later
booked for being drunk.
Another remark that I did yell out of the wagon to the detectives and superintendent
was that I was going to file charges for false arrest.
We were driven to the station house in the wagon ~nd both of us got out making no fuss.
The h ndcuf fs were t aken off me and I was told to sit on a bench in the station hou s e
while the old man was booked. I was . told to come up to the counter which Ihdid with
no comment . A patro~n with a plaster of paris mitten took my right hand and started
to r ise it as if to fingerprint me. I held my hand down and said, "You can't ·
fingerprint me ."
He said , "Oh yes we can." and bega n to twist my right arm while putting a hammerl ock around my neck with his left arm.
A woman behind the counter sus tained his statement by saying,
"Oh ;es they can."
Another patrolman began twisting my left arm and I relaxed and s aid, "Okay."
At no time did I offer any other opposit ion then simply state that they could not
fingerprint me, and I held my hand down when they firs t tried to lift it. I was
choked unconscious. When I came to I was led into the eievator by the patrolman
with the plaster mitten plus a nother patrolman. Another pris oner was pla ced on
the elevator who I think was Robert Anderson and he was a ccompanied by another officer.
I think there was als o an elevator operator present. In the elevator I was beaten
and kicked by the two officers with me and particularly by the officer with the
plaster mitten which he used as a very e ffective weapon. When the elevator stopped
I was led out and thrown to the floor and .kicked. I was told to get to my feet and
directed down the hall, down which I was continua lly bea ten, especially with the
pl ster mitten . The only remarks tha t I made during this course of events waa,
"Stop , please, atop! I can't do anything!"
I wa fina lly thrown into a barren cell and the door s hut. After what seemed to be
about two hours I asked an of ficer who c ame by if I could make a phone call. He
aid , "No." A little later he came by a gain and I sa id, "I want to ca ll my lawyer."
He ~aid , "No ."
Finally a round five o'clock in t he morning (I had my watch) the same officer came by
and said , "You can make a telephone call."
At this time I was a fforded an opportunity to call an ttorney and friend, Gilbert
D. Spinde l, and my emp loyers L. W. Gray. Mr. Spindel ba iled me out a t approximate ly
7:30 AM, Wednesday morning.

My face was bruised a nd bloody. I stated at the des k as I left that I thought
my arm was broken. Before the officers in charge would let me out he wanted to
know if I wanted to go to the hospital while still in officia l care and I said no
that ! ,wanted out.
Trial wa set for 3 :30PM tha t afternoon, and it was the next day Thtrsday, before
I was ab le to have the arm examined and x-rayed by Dr. E0 Ladd Jones. The end of
one bone on my right elbow was broken which did not require a cas t.

officers, Detect i ve Ferguson, before the tria l. The other detective who initia ted

numbers on the identification plaque when going from the frontal shot to the pro=

have yet to be cleared up.
If one is bemused by this account of brutality, there was perhaps one contributing
factor here tofore unsppken. I am a construction superintendent on residences and
was dress ed in kaiki work clothes and work boots which were not altogether clean. I
have found that when so attired I am sometimes given the most perfunctory consideration
by store clerks, filling station attendents, and now the police.
My present cour se of action is this . I do not plan to contest the settlement of the
charges aga inst me nor do I pl anto f ile charges of fal se arrest . I do intend that my
side of the story be clearly brought to the attention of the appropriate superiors.
I want to make it clear also that it was not detective Ferguson who initiated the
fracas but his partner whose name I do not know. The situation in the station house
is a dif ferent mat t er . I will file f ormal charges .
For tho s e who must consider this case I s ay this. The primary responsibility f or the
brutality inflicted on me l ays with the men who did it and their superiors . These now
are less than men. I believe that the majority of the Atlanta Police Force are men of
basic h onesty , integrity, and humanity. To let such unwarranted brutality by their
fellows go unchallenged would be a dis s ervice to their va lues which must be constantly
striven forin a viscious world. I know too that the same of f icer s who assulted me
d .sk their lives ev ery day in the line of duty.
Thereis another s ource of evil here only slightly less in magnitude. Men, whether rich
or poor mus t s tand accountab le f or their actions and when they do not, then they are the
wor s t. But h er e we are al so faced with a p~ l i ce department, a city administr at ion, a
city power structure , a bar ass ociation, newspapers, t e l ev ision s t ations, a citizenry
t h at expect men to continuously risk their live s in de fense of their gr eat property for
a min imum of pay.

The account of an encounter with the City of Atlanta Police, Tuesday Night,
May 2, 1967, by Huron W. Virden, Jr., 685 Argonne Avenue NE Apt. 10, Atlanta, Ga.
o
At approximately 9 PM to 9:30 PM, May 2, 1967, I was walking south on the west
side of Peachtree between 10th and llth streets. I had been to the Post Office
on 14th and had parked on Peachtree and was going to make a telephone call at the
Rexall Drug Store. Near 10th Street I noticed two men in business suits who
looked to be in their thirties forcing an old man across to the east side of Peache
tree to a late model automobile with no obvious markings. Each of the younger
men had the old man (he was white in maybe his early fifties) by his arms and were
twisting them slightly forcing him across the street. The old man himself was
offering no discernable resistence and looked in good condition. He carried him-
self well. The old man was forced into the car to the rear seat and the other two
got in the front seat and closed the doors,
The first thought that entered my mind was that of citizens in a city who observe
violence and do nothing to aid the victum. This situation did not look right.
I crossed the street after all three men were in the car and walked behind the car
deliberately looking at the liscense plates which were ordinary Georgia, Fulton
County, 1966 plates. I stepped onto the sidewalk and walked toward the front of
the car. As I passed the front car door the man sitting next to the curb said:
"He looked at the liscense plates!"
I reached approximately the front wheel of the car and turned and looked through
the front windshield in order to clearly see the faces. At this point the man
sitting next to the curb jumped out of the car and said to me, "What do you want,
mister?"
I said, "What's going on here?" (This was the first remark that I had spoken which
was in response to him and had made no attempt to interfere.)
He said, "We're the police."
I said, "Show me your badge, mister."
We had been standing two or three feet apart. He immediately shoved me causing
me to lose my balance. He showed me nothing. I turned and stumbling tried to run.
He was right behind me, but I managed to get into the middle of Peachtree before
he dragged me down onto the street, The other one piled on and I struggled, not
hitting them but trying to throw them off. I began yelling, "Help: I don't
know who these two guys are. Somebody help me: ' Nobody came over. In the middle
of Peachtree a pair of handcuffs was gotten out and finally put on me. I was
forced back to the car, but they were unable to force me into the car. During
this entire time I continued to yell, "Help, I don't know who these two guys are!"
After I was forced back to the car a bystander said, "They're the police.. You're
in good hands."
Since I did not know the bystander and did not consider handcuffs very good badges
of identification, I continued to yell. By this time they had forced me to the
trunk of the car with my feet on the ground and pressed by torso across the trunk.
Finally a bystander, a Chinese, said,'"What are you two doing to him?" and one of
them said, '"We!’re the police."
The Chinese said, "Then show him your badge."
At this point one of them for the first and only time pulled out a badge and holding
it low, briefly flashed it and then put it back in his pocket. I yelled to the Chinese
"Get his name and badge number,"
The Chinese then said, "You are in good hands, you go on with them,"
I was by no means assured and continued to yell hoping that a uniformed patrol-
man would show up. Finally a paddy wagon came screaming up and as the driver
jumped out I said, "Boy, am I glad to see you." The wagon driver later said that
his aame was Ray.
I offered no resistence to being placed in the wagon and stopped yelling. Sitting
there in the wagon at 10th and Peachtree I became aware of two new faces in plain
clothes who began talking to the men who had jumped me, and I beganiemanding
their name and badge numbers. Finally one of them stuck his head in the door of
the wagon and said that his name was Metzger (or something roughly like that) and
that he was superintendent of detectives. I briefly related to him the circumstances
of my observing the old man being forced across the street to an unmarked car and my
subsequent invoivement with the other two men and told him, "I don't mind an
heacst cop, but you've got two louses out there."
I later discovered I was charged with using profanity to an officer, ana this remark
was the extent of my profanity.
Sitting there in the wagon the oid man was finally put in with me, ana he said
that his name was Robert Anderson from Decatur, Ga. I understand that he was later
booked for being drunk,
Another remark that I did yell out of the wagon to the detectives and superintendent
was that I was going to file charges for false arrest.
We were driven to the station house in the wagon and both of us got out making no fuss.
The handcuffs were taken off me and I was told to sit on a bench in the station house
while the old man was booked. I was told to come up to the counter which Lhdid with
mo comment. A patrolman with a plaster of paris mitten todk my right hand and started
to raise it as if to fingerprint me. I held my hand down and said, "You can't
fingerprint me."
He said, "Oh yes we can." and began to twist my right arm while putting a hammer=
lock around my neck with his left arm.
A woman behind the counter sustained his statement by saying, "Oh yas they can."
Another patrolman began twisting my left arm and I relaxed and said, "Okay."
At no time did I offer any other opposition then simply state that they could not
fingerprint me, and I held my hand down when they first tried to lift it. I was
choked unconscious. When I came to I was led into the elevator by the patrolman
with the plaster mitten plus another patrolman. Another prisoner was placed on
the elevator who I think was Robert Anderson and he was accompanied by another officer.
I think there was also an elevator operator present. In the elevator I was beaten
and kicked by the two officers with me and particularly by the officer with the
plastér mitten which he used as a very effective weapon. When the elevator stopped

He said, "No."
Finally around five o'clock in the morning (I had my watch) the same officer came by
and said, "You can make a telephone call,"
At this time I was afforded an ofportunity to call an attorney and friend, Gilbert
D. Spindel, and my employers L. W. Gray. Mr. Spindel bailed me out at approximately
7:30 AM, Wednesday morning.

There were five charges filed against me. Since I was never given copies I can
only recall them as best I can according to memory:
1. Assault and battery against an officer
2. Assault and battery against an officer
3. Disorderly conduct

5. Using profanity to an officer
My attorney for the hearing, Ernest Brookins, consulted with one of the arresting

I want to make it clear also that it was not detective Ferguson who initiated the
fracas but his partner whose name I do not know, The situation in the station house
is a differant matter. I will file formal charges.
For those who must consider this case I say this, The primary responsibility for the
brutality inflicted on me lays with the men who did it and their superiors. These now
are less than men. I believe that the majority of the Atlanta Police Force are men of
basic honesty, integrity, and humanity. To let such unwarranted brutality by their

Thereis another source of evil here only slightly less in magnitude, Men, whether rich
or poor must stand accountable for their actions and when they do not, then they are the
worst. But here we are also faced with a pdlice department, a city administration, a
city power structure, a bar association, newspapers, television stations, a citizenry
that expect men to continuously risk their lives in defense of their great property for
a minimum of pay.
Until these matters are effectively faced, the people will not be safe from criminals in

At about 2:30 a.m. Friday, May 20, in the ambulance in which I was riding
we heard a police car reporting chasing a car out Dekalb Avenue for running a
red light; chased the car for about 20 minutes, kept saying the car was running
red lights, at one point, said Tried to wreck us. Whe ambulance followed, be=
cause we figured they would be shooting or a wreck; followed the car to Decatur
out Memorial Drive; the car wouldn't stop, drove into park on the south side of
Decatur, into swampy part of the park; we heard shots and went down the creek with
a stretcher,
They had the man in the creek, kicking him; he had been bitten by the police
dog and hit over the head with a sawed off shotguns He was handcuffed, He was
kicked by about 10 different people, including the ambulance driver. There were
about 30 police there by that time, including lots of Dekalb Police, who had heard
the radio. i
When we got there, the man was saying, "Don't hit me again", and I heard
someone say about 20 times "Get him, Bill", I tried to pick him yup and put him
on the stretcher, no one would help me. A policeman shoved him and he fell on
the other side of the stretcher and was bitten again by the police dog. I got
him on the stretcher, but someone dragged him off, pushed him down in the mud
on his face, and then made him walk to the ambulance; more police kicking him and .
cuffing him across the face, There wera some superior officers there and they
tried to find a car with 2 officers so one could ride back in the ambulance with
us» Finally, they found one off-duty policeman and he rode in the ambulance. He
shoved the man face down in the ambulance, and he Climbed ineand kicked him. The
man finally gat a bit billigerant and said "I wish I was dead", and the police ©
officer said, "Well, I'll take the hand cuffs off and you run, and I'll just fix
that for you", |
When we got to Grady, the detention officer roughed him up a bit more. He was
treated at the emergency clinic. Usually anybody who comes in like that is taken
to XeRay, but before they got to X-Ray, he was taken off to jail.
Turned out the reason he didn't stop when they saw him running the red
light was that he had borrowed his frisnd's car without permission. They said
page 2
it was a stolen car, and there was some talk dF charging him with attempting
to murder a police officer,
He gave his mame to me as "Leroy McFarland", but then he gave it to the

The original copies of the attached reports were sent to Mr. Richard Freeman,
Chairman of the Police Committee of the Board of Aldermen, last month along
with reports on various statements about police actions in Dixie Hills. We
are in the process now of arranging with the ACLU and some other community
agencies which have expressed concerns about reported police activities, an
informal meeting in order to co-ordinate our concerns and any recommendations
we might have to make, rather than having each individual group deal separately
with the police committee. We hope this arrangement will save us all time and
energy, and will result in some more constructive activity than simply meeting
to review reports with which we are already familiar,
We did want you to know, however, that reports such as these did come to us
and that we are proceeding along these lines so that if questions should
arise about this before we arrange a meeting, all members of the police
committee, and Chief Jenkins, and Mayor Allen and Vice-Mayor! Massell will
be fully informed.

Boulevard area, but by the time we got around to expressing it, the need
for services throughout the city had become more apparent than ever.
She suggested that such a request be made to the Youth Council, in view
of their coordination of summer programs. ; Z
At the meeting of the Commission, however, on June 23, upon motion of Mr.
Joseph Haas, the Commission voted to request the Canney e Council jointly
with the Community Relations Commission to convene "a convocation of
representatives of all Secsnee ete’ facilities, | ‘public ar and private", (
of individual church groups, , et al) to & explore
“adequate f¢ for are (permanent program.
eS se
The Recreation Department of the.city and the Youth Council would of course
be included in any such meeting and I should think also in the initial
discussion and planning. ; -
We shall appreciate a response from the Community Council as soon as
possible,
Sincerely,

Dear Eliza:
I have talked with seve r a l people about your letter dated
July 5, 1967, addressed to th e Community Council from your organization. They all agree that t he city of Atlanta needs a comprehensive
year-round recreation plan a nd Mr. Allison from EOA, Mr. Cox from the
Atlant a Youth Council, and Mr . Delius from the City Recreati on
Departme nt h a ve agreed that we_ s hould get together to discuss how
such a plan could be devel ope d.
"'
We are in agreement that the primary agencies which would have
respons ibility for plann i ng a nd implementing the plan should come
together first. Therefore, we are not in agreement with your recommendation that we convene a meeting of representatives o f a ll
recreation facilities at the present time. We feel that the smaller
group should figure out how a plan could be developed and how it might
be financed before we b ring together the groups who provide many of
the di rect servic es in recreation.
Mr. Cox and I are very much interes t ed in convening a meeting
of the primary groups in which we would discuss how such a pl anning
process could proceed for the city. Both of our organizations have
information at the present time which i s pertinent to proceeding with
a planning process. The Economic Opportuni t y of Atlanta also has
information and I thi nk the time is r ipe for us to proceed.

We hav_e not set a date for such a meeting but will within the

to invite a representative of your organization, the ~ity Recreation
Department, the Community Chest, EOA, the Mayor's Office and the

Please let me know your thoughts on the matter.

I hesitate to register a complaint about Mrs. Paschall Is action

raises a basic issue concerning the role of th e Community

I mentioned to you a few days ago that we were now in a
position to be able to develop a year-round program with
emphasis on summer recreation and that many groups have
pledged their co ope ration. We have taken steps in that
direction.
Now, I find that Mrs. Paschall has enter·e d this area without
any communication with this office and is attempting to assume
the responsibilities of the Atlanta Youth Council and Parks
and Recreation Department in thfs area.
I think Mr. Beck's answer to Mrs. Paschall indicates that the
Community Council is aware of the role of the Mayor's Office,
the City Recreation Department, the Community Chest, EOA,
and the schools, as well as the Atlanta Youth Council, which
is the agency we have agreed would spearhead development of
youth and juvenile delinquency programs.
The main point I would like to make is that.the Community
Relations Commission, which has an office in City Hall,
should find out what the City is doing before initiating action
which tends to cause confusion, overlapping and duplication .
"
.I wish that an explicit definition of the role of the Community
Relations Commission could be drawn which would let all of
us know exactly what the responsibilities of that organization
are. I think this is a must if we are to expect harmonious·
relationships between the Commission, the City Government,
and other public and private groups.

Mr. Howard Watson, the Youth Co rps Co-c hairman, was the first speaker. He expressE
his complaints, and wha t he thought precipitated t he rioting was (1) inadequate
play lots for the immediate area, ( 2 ) better treatments in the stores , (3) apartments, (4) police prutality, and (5 ) unpaved streets, with holes in them.
The apartments are owned by private owners, and the owners should be made
to repair the apartments, and rents are too high for the way they are unkept by
the owners. Streets need paving, some large holes are in the middle of them.
The sewage is very bad, when it rain, water floo-ds1Jp in the streets. He felt
that the stares in the Center, should treat the children, as well as others
with respect. The brutality is another factor for unrest - w~en tr.e official
was arresting the girl they used brutality with her, and the people didn't
want their women treated that way. The policemen seem to feel that the people
in the low-income bracket, can be treated anyway, and talked to anyway. The
rioting did not just stem from the trying to get recreation facilities, but
mostly "police brutality".
�Page 2
Minutes, Commission Hearing in Dixie Hills, ... ;'
_ Wed., June 21st
DOROTHY SHAW: She stated that her g r ievances, or complaints were (1) playlots for the children, (2) E.O.A. should have field trips for th e smaller
children (3) the selling of beer and wine to our children in the store
should be stopped (this complaint had not been formally reported to the
authorities.
BULLARD:
(Question) Do you think that Mr. Carmichael's presence precipitated :
this rioting? Do you think this would come about anywa y7
SHA W: The disturbance would come about sooner or later, mainly because our
kids are on the streets.
MARION WA RD: the man who was shot, treated, and released, stated that . he waited
in the streets in o r der to help the fellow who was shot (later he died), After
waiting on the police, he went to ge t his superior offccer ( the police), he
never c a me back to help the othe r man. He told the Commission that he heard
four ~ ots, that the officer pump the gun four times. That the man who threw
the fire bomb ( Molotov Cocktail) was not near them. The Molotov Cocktail
went ju~t a fe w f ee t in f ront of the officer who shot th e se people. He saw
the police s t a rt to s hoot, the police was under a street light. He sta t ed
that he could .i,dent i fy him if he sa\v him again. The other man ( who died)
wa s just l y i ng in the str ee t s "fa c e down, a nd the bo y wa s n o t b leedin g ,

MRS. ALBERT FORD stated that these problems were here before this
thing happen. She felt th a t the City transit gave good bus s ervice
in the area. A bus comes in here every five minutes, and during the
Xmas holidays, one came about every minute. The police brutality is
not wanted in the area. The community decided that they will not shop
at the store (Dixie Hill Store). She stated that, " We are not violent
people", if some of the polic e is t a ken from the area, the people could
go back to their normal way of living. Shes ys that she realize that
a lot of people do not have respect for the law, but this comes from the
brutality from the policemen •

in the Center , (3) EDA, the y a 1e not helping the people with their
problems, (4) Poor Sewage, (5) Play lots, and recreation are not doing
what could be done with the apartment. We would like someone from the
Cit 2 to guard this area as a re gular beat, someone who kno ws everyone.
And the y should take a human-r e lations cour s e, similar to the one given
in colleges. Then the ~ would know ho w to handle these people. Also
EDA do not sho w to much in t erest to the people in the area, and are not

MRS. ALBERT FORD:
Police brutality is dr aw in g attention from the people .
JER RY CAR LTON: The police a re not pr otect i ng the people , and they should
be gotten out . He stated further that he saw the little boy who was shot ,
in the hospital, and tha t the kid wants to ki ll e very cop that comes i nto

C. '. ! . Sr-1ITH: " ~Je have a number of complaints". He works 1-Ji th
EDA as Area Block Chairman of their lighting committee. He states
that they had a number of complaints, in addition to the other
complaints, is proper lighting in the area. This complaint has been
brought up before the proper auth o rities, but nothing has yet been
done about it.
VIRGINIA JACKS ON : Jorks with And Grson School's PTA, and talk to the
boys in the area. The people here feel that the people with the EDA
are better than them, the way they are treated.
Since most of these
people are not high-school graduates, they (EDA) in counselling them
should tell these kids, not to expect to make a lot of money on the
jobs that they are sent out on.
Some of them have got ten into the
training program, but this makes them frus tra ted, because if they
have families, the salary they are given are not enough. The counselors
should le t th e m know what is to be expected.
HELEN BULLARD:
"Some people will not res pect the policemen if the
childre n are told that the policemen go about and beat up the people.
What could be done about this"?
VIRGI NIA JACKSON: "My suggestion is, as I tell my children, (and I
have five) that whenever a polic e man urders y ou to do something, do it.
If you are arrest ed go with them peacefully, wheter you are wrong or
right. Then t his is when you exercise y .. ur ri g h ·cs by hiring a lawyer".
CH/\ IR hA N:
"If the City remov es the policemen from the a rea, will it
make this area le s s disturbed"?
VIRG W I A J ACKS ON: " 1Je don't ne e d anyone here, who cannot get order.
The policeme n are causing di sorder."
~JILLIE GLAZE:
" Some of the peo p le in the area feel that the people

CHARLES B. HAR T: As ked what wo uld their re acti ,ns b e if Mr. Carmichael
came back i nt o t h e area, o nc e the policemen are removed. Wo ld they
be able to g uaran t ee anyone th at they wo uld not be motivated by his
speec h es and riot aga in ? He also sta t ed that he is a volunteer worker

MINUTES OF THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION
HEARING IN THE DIXIE HILLS AREA
June 19, 1967
Hearing on Dixie Hills, Wednesday, June 19, 1967, EOA Center, 2193 Verbena St.
The Executive Committee of the Commission met at the request of the Mayor.
Present:
CHAIRMAN: Mz. Irving K. Kaler
FIRST VICE={CHAIRMAN: Rev. Samuel Williams
SECOND VICE-CHAIRMAN: Miss Helen Bullard
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Mrs. Eliza K, Paschall
Also present were Senator Leroy Johnson, Alderman Q. V. Williamson, Rep.
J. D. Grier, Rep. J. C. Daugherty, Mr. Cecil Alexander, Mr. Johnny Robinson,
and Mr. B. L. Lowery, City Inspection Department.
Mr. Kaler explained that the session had been called at the request of the Mayor
to hear from residents about the events of the past few days, and invited anyone
to speak.

Mz. Howard Watson, the Youth Corps Co-chairman, was the first speaker, He expresse
his complaints, and what he thought precipitated the rioting was (1) inadequate
play lots for the immediate area, (2) better treatments in the stores, (3) apart-
ments, (4) police brutality, and (5) unpaved streets, with holes in them.
The apartments are owned by private owners, and the owners should be made
to repair the apartments, and rents are too high for the way they are unkept by
the owners. Streets need paving, some large holes are in the middle of them.
The sewage is very bad, when it rain, water floodsup in the streets, He felt
that the stores in the Center, should treat the children, as well as others
with respect, The brutality is another factor for unrest = when the official
was arresting the girl they used brutality with her, and the people didn't
want their women treated that way. The policemen seem to feel that the people
in the low-income bracket, can be treated anyway, and talked to anyway. The
rioting did not just stem from the trying to get recreation facilities, but
mostly "police brutality".
Page 2 Minutes, Commission Hearing in Dixie Hills, -.:..,
. Wed., June 21st
DOROTHY SHAW: She stated that her grievances, or complaints were (1) play-
lots for the children, (2) E.0.A. should have field trips for the smaller
children (3) the selling of beer and wine to our children in the store
should be stopped (this complaint had not been formally reported to the
authorities,
BULLARD: (Question) Do you think that Mr. Carmichael's presence precipitated -
this rioting? Do you think this would come about anyway?
SHAW: The disturbance would come about sooner or later, mainly because our
kids are on the streets.
MARION WARD: the man who was shot, treated, and released, stated that.he waited
in the streets in order to help the fellow who was shot (later he died), After
waiting on the police, he went to get his superior offecer ( the police), he
never came back to help the other man, He told the Commission that he heard
four Shots, that the officer pump the gun four times, That the man who threw
the fire bomb (Molotov Cocktail) was not near them. The Molotov Cocktail
went just a few feet in front of the officer who shot these people. He saw
the police start to shoot, the police was under a street light. He stated
that he could identify him if he saw him again. The other man (who died)
was just lying in the streets "face down", and the boy was not bleeding,
unless he was bleeding on the inside, both unattended. He stated that he
was treated and released at Grady's Hospital. The ambulance took about
two hours to come He said he had started to bleed again, that it was
about 30 minutes after he got to the hospital before he received any service.
He was asked to make a statement to detectives before he began to get
service.
There are no playlots for our children, the rent is tao high, and nothing
is offered for them. ("I pay $65.00 per month; no utilities are included")
He has three children himself, and that the apartments are infested with
roaches, rats, and other insects: that the owners should get rid of.
WILLIAM H. FURLOW: Feels that previous problems cause this thing to come
to a point. After the rioting he came back to this area to see what was
happening, he feels that this situation came about because of the brutality
of the police arresting of the girl (Georgia). This community this large
do not need a Jew Store, with prices skyhigh, and little quality. A
community this sige needs a store like A & P or one similar. The city
should make the owners repair the apartments. There are holes in the
wall, where children get into them to play. This is dangerous. Also
play lots are needed for our children.
WILKIE JORDAN: Get property owners ta fix up the property, keep places
clean. Felt that if the policemen were to parole the area, it should
be in such a large quanity, and not harass the people. As long as the
people are treated like people, there will be peace. If the officials
are mean to them, they will continue to gather in crowds as such. There
should be an effort if the policemen are needed they should be able te
xeach the area in 5 to 8 minutes. The people feel. that the thing whish'-caused
the rioting was: (1) when ti.e police used brut * gn arrasting the
woma1. A meeting was called on Sunday to find out the people grievente,
and to stop the past troubles of the community with the security quards,
play lots for our small children. He thought that this thing would come
Page 3 Minutes, Commission Hearing in Dixie Hills,
Wed., June 2lst
about eventually, even if Mr, Carmichael did not come into the area,
fiRS, ALBERT FORD stated that these problems were here before this
thing happen. She felt that the City transit gave good bus service
in the area. A bus comes in here every five minutes, and during the
Xmas holidays, one came about every minute. The police brutality is
not wanted in the area. The community decided that they will not shop
at the store (Dixie Hill Store). She stated that, "We are not violent
people", if some of the police is taken from the area, the people could
go back to their normal way of living. She s ys that she realize that
a lot of people do not have respect for the law, but this comes from the
brutality from the policemen,
‘IKIE JORDAN said that the people held a meeting that night, (Monday)
We called this meeting to hear from tiie people their complaints. A
community preacher made arrangements as to where this meeting was to
be held. Their complaints were as follows: (1) work, (2) the stores
in the Center, (3) EOA, they are not helping the people with their
problems, (4) Poor Sewage, (5) Play lots, and recreation are not doing
what could be done with the apartment. We would like someone from the
Cit: to guard this area as a regular beat, someone who knows everyone.
And they should take a human-relations course, similar to the one given
in colleges. Then the, would know how to handle these people. Also
ENA do not show to much interest to the people in the area, and are not
really giving assistance to them. The counselors do not take interest.
MRS. ALBERT FORD: Police brutality is drawing attention from the people.
JERRY CARLTON: The police are not protecting the people, and they should
be gotten out. He stated further that he saw the little boy who was shot,
in the hospital, and that the kid wants to kill every cop that comes into
his sight -- that this is the reaction a small child has from such
brutality --- and that he is too young to think like that --- but the
police are teaching hi this way because of the way they treat people.
The security guards are given a gun and a badge and that is their license
to kill, or harass anyone they want.
Q. V. WILLIAMSON: "The only thing the police are there for is to protect
life and property. If they are taken out now what will happen"?
JOHNNY BILLINGSLAY: "This community once had a fellow who was real nice,
but the city took him away, and gave us another person here who tried to
bully everyone. He was removed after he shot a man here. Then the store
and the grill hired a Security Guard . The man who everyone liked was
Mr. Collier".
CHAIRMAN: "Could this man be brought back to help us with the peopic.
and their problems"?
3ILLINGSLAY: "The only thing we want here is 'peace'".
THARLES WEBSTER, AFSC: "Chairman, I agree with Mr. Billingslay, =
“re, Carlton. This community needs someone who the peopl? ec. | om trust."

Wed., June 2lst
C. if. SMITH: "We have a number of complaints". He works with
EQA as Area Block Chairman of their lighting committee. He states
that they had a number of complaints, in addition to the other
complaints, is proper lighting in the area. This complaint has been
brought up before the proper autherities, but nothing has yet been
done about it.
VIRGINIA JACKSON: works with Anderson School's PTA, and talk to the
boys in the area. The people here feel that the people with the EDA
are better than them, the way they are treated. Since most of these
people are not high-school graduates, they (E0A) in counselling them
should tell these kids, not to expect to make a lot of money on the
jobs that they are sent out on. Some of them have yotten into the
training program, but this makes them frustrated, because if they
have families, the salary they are given are not enough. The counselors
should let them know what is to be expected.
HELEN BULLARD: "Some people will not respect the policemen if the
children are told that the policemen go about and beat up the people.
What could be done about this"?
VIRGINIA JACKSON: "My suggestion is, as I tell my children, (and I
have five) that whenever a policeman urders you to do something, do it.
If you are arrested go with them peacefully, wheter you are wrong or
right. Then this is when you exercise y ur righis by hiring a lawyer".
CHATRWAN: “If the City removes the policemen from the area, will it
make this area less disturbed"?
VIRGINIA JACKSON: "We don't need anyone here, who cannot get order.
The policemen are causing disorder."
WILLIE GLAZE: "Some of the peaple-in the area feel that the people
who the cops shot are either their friend or relative".
CHARLES B. HART: Asked what would their reactiins be if Mr. Carmichael
came back into the area, once the policemen are removed. Wo:ld they
be able to guarantee anyone that they would not be motivated by his
speeches and riot again? He alsa stated that he is a volunteer worker
with EQOA, as an area representative, and that about three months ago
they expressed a desire for a "good Guy" to patrol this area. We have
not had full cooperation with the community working with EOA. We had
also tried to get the City to cuild two playlots for our children.
Mr. Hart is to submit a written report to the committee on these efforts.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 P. M., in order to meet with the
Mayor at City Hall.

Report on Dixie Hills Episode
During this period, a crowd gathered and some protested the arrests.
Another man was also arrested. A police officer said Miss Wilkins
was hitting at them with her pocketbook and cursing. She was arrested
on charges of an assualt on an officer, using obscene and vulgar language.
Her brother was arrested on a miscellaneous mischief charge. The third
person, Joseph Kendrick of Proctor Street, was char ved with interfering
with an officer. They claim to have been beaten by the police in the car.
The crowd gathered. The police officer denied the charges against him,
saying that they were fighting and protesting.
There were no disturbances on Saturday night and no police cars in the
area. The incidents in the Dixie Hills area were sparked off as a result
of the fight with the security guards on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon
Stokley Carmichael and his SNCC companions were in the neighborhood.
After a swimmin g trip at Mozley Park, they were arrested for loitering.
It was reported by Howard Watson, a resident of the Dixie Hills area,
there were about 4 police ca r s patroling. He held a meeting at St.
Joseph's Church on Verbena Street, N. W., with some residents of the
~om~unity to decide whether they should pick et the shopping plaza.
The meeting was held at 3:00 P. ~1 . , shortly after Stokley Carmichael's
arrest. There were no incidents Sunday night.
Monday afternoon, a young man was shot by a police officer. The incident
was diecrib ed by an eyewitness as follows: "Somebody threw a brick in
the shopping center and hit the window to a store, the burglar ala rm went
off. A boy (the one who was shot) picked up a stick and started beating
on the alarm to try to make it stop, as they had seen policemen do. The
police drove up, on e man got out of the car and came o ver to the boy and
told him to stop. The boy didn't stop. When the boy continued beating,
the policeman demanded again that he stop. When the boy continued beating, the policeman pushed him. The bo~ 's friend sug ges ted that he defend
himself. Th e n the boy retaliated by pushing the policeman back. They
started to stuffle. The boy pushed the policen,an against his car and
backed a way from him. The policeman pulled out his pistol and shot the
boy."
Marion Ward, 31 Shirley Place, gave this account of what happened Tues. night. He
said : "The Police Department got nasty with us last night after people
got shot . We tried to get police officers to help us out, he told us
to wait, we should have been in the house, to wait, they would get to us
when they could----- Fellow was dead, little boy would have died --told me to pick fellow up and bring him to him --- fellow was already
dead --- the fellow I went to was the person who did the shooting.
Police were scared to death, had shotguns . Fellow who threw firebomb was
no where near us. Lady said 'We better go in the house' when firebomb
was thrown, tried to get in the same door. I would know police officer
who shot --- got a good look at him in light of bomb".

Report on Dixie Hills Episode
The observations of Reginald Carter after Dixie Hills Rioting.
(Community Relations Staff)
I arri ved into the are a a bo ut 9:15 A. M., Tuesday, June 20th at
Verbena Street at the EDA West Cen tral Neighborhood Service Center.
I saw the bulldozers and tractors u f the City of Atlant a grading
ground to be used for a play lot. The street cleaners we re clearing
the streets. The sewers wer ~ being cleaned out and ma ny of the city
officials were in the a rea giving directions a nd making pla ns about what
is to be done next about play lots. The area was without incident.
Later on in the evening, 10:15 P. M. , when I arrived back into the area,
policemen were fully armed.
I had heard that four (4) people were shot,
one fatally.
The area was high in tension and several shots were fired
periodically.
I went to Grady Hospital in an effort to get a n official report of the
incident and possibly to talk to some of the injured.
I was only able
to g e t a story of what happened from a news reporter. She reported:
"A Mr. Timothy Ross ~-Jas fat a lly shot while sitting on a step at his
home; Marion Ward was shot between the eyes, his injury was not serious;
Catherine Duncan was shot in the hand while in her apartment. The
shooting re s ulted from a kid who thre w. 8 fire bomb at a po liceman. The
policeman got excited and sta rted shooting". Reginald Rivers, age nine
(9) was shot in the side.
I r e turned to the area of Dixie Hills an d heard that the Mayor had been
th ere f u r a short while.
I listened while Reverend Boone, Rush
Con gregatio nal Church, Rev e rend J, C. Wa r d, Hunt er Hill Baptist Church,
Ben Perry, WAOK, and Douglas J ac kson who was shot by the police on the
evening before, was interviewed about the shooting of the afternoon.

REPORT ON DIXIE HILLS EPISODE cor YOUR INFORMAT
A memo in the files of the Community Relations Commission, dated April 5, 1967
states "Mr, Charles Hart suggests that the Commission hold a hearing in the
Northwest area immediately = including, Troy Street area, Dixie Hills, Almond
Park, etc. He pointed out several problems in the area.
-. On. April 19th a meeting was held at Alien A. Me. E. Church, at which time
24 persons spoke, and some 15 more submitted written statements about
needs. (On May 4th, a meeting was held at Wilkes Chapel, in Perry Homes
area) The complaints included sewers; street paving; street signs; police
protection, "In Dixie Hills Plaza"; recreation; double session schools;
charges in public housing projects; rats; maintenance of apartments.
The individual complaints were referred to the appropriate departments
and the Commission was informed that an encouraging number had been
handled.
The major ones, of inadequate resources for young people would require
major resources and programs through the City Rarks and Recreation
Department or through the Board of Education.
On May 9th, the Center Hill - Grove Park Civic Association and the
CNAC for the West Central EOA center submitted requests to the Parks
Committee for 8 specific programs in the general area. On May 10th
same groups submitted to the Police Committee requests for development
of a Police Athletic Leagu®,
The Dixie Hills Shopping Center is in area of about one block by one-half
block, It is surrounded by apartment houses with little open space ---
a parking area for about 20 cars.
On the evening of Saturday, June 17th, a customer left the Flamingo Grill
at about 9:15 P, M. and was etanding on a corner in the plaza.[He was
drinking beer, | According to him, Eddie Wilkins,.wharwes. the one arreste2rs
"I was standing on the corner, had a can of beer and I'm old enough,
I'm over 213; then three security policemen from the Flamingo Grill, cams
up and told me to move on, He's got. a grudge against me; the security
guards said ‘You can't stand here on the corner' I said 'Why?' Then
he pushed me. (The security guard) Then we started to fight. And tha.
the city police came."
Eddie Wilkins' sister, Georgia Wilkins, was arrested later, He veri |
was* "Detective J. W. Bailey pulled me over and tried to handce.+
He -.anped me and I started to fight back. My Daddy told me it. |
powice take me on in and he would get me out. They put a a
tons cut brass knuckles, beat the boy and then started bea*: 27 an
stai.ast and back. I asked why they were arresting and hates: ae The
Negro officer told me to shut up! He said he had arrested =F for bad
language. I said they should arrest everybody then. I kept quiet so
they would'nt- beat me."
Page #2 Report on Dixie Hills Episode
During this period, a crowd gathered and some protested the arrests.
Another man was also arrested. A police officer said Miss Wilkins
was hitting at them with her pocketbook and cursing. She was arrested
on charges of an assualt on an officer, using obscene and vulgar language.
Her brother was arrested on a miscellaneous mischief charge. The third
person, Joseph Kendrick of Proctor Street, was charged with interfering
with an officer. They claim to have been beaten by the police in the car.
The crowd gathered. The police officer denied the charges against him,
saying that they were fighting and protesting.
There were no disturbances on Saturday night and no police cars in the
area. The incidents in the Dixie Hills area were sparked off as a result
of the fight with the security guards on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon
Stokley Carmichael and his SNCC companions were in the neighborhood.
After a swimming trip at Mozley Park, they were arrested for loitering.
It was reported by Howard Watson, a resident of the Dixie Hills area,
there were about 4 police cars patroling. He held a meeting at St.
doseph's Church on Verbena Street, N. W., with some residents of the
community to decide whether they should picket the shopping plaza.
The meeting was held at 3:00 P. . , shortly after Stokley Carmichael's
arrest. There were no incidents Sunday night.
Monday afternoon, a young man was shot by a police officer. The incident
was discribed by an eyewitness as follows: "Somebody threw a brick in
the shopping center and hit the window to a store, the burglar alarm went
off. A boy (the one who was shot) picked up a stick and started beating
on the alarm to try to make it stop, as they had seen policemen do. The
police drove up, one man got out of the car and came over to the boy and
told him to stop. The boy didn't stop. When the boy continued beating,
the policeman demanded again that he stop. When the boy continued beat-
ing, the policeman pushed him. The boy's friend suggested that he defend
himself. Then the boy retaliated by pushing the policeman back. They
started to séuffle. The boy pushed the policeman against his car and
backed away from him. The policeman pulled out his pistol and shot the
boy."
Marion Ward, 31 Shirley Place, gave this account of what happened Tues. night. He
said: "The Police Department got nasty with us last night after people
got shot. We tried to get police officers to help us out, he told us
to wait, we should have been in the house, to wait, they would get to us
when they could ----- Fellow was dead, little boy would have died ---
told me to pick fellow up and bring him to him --= fellow was already
dead --=- the fellow I went to was the person who did the shooting.
Police were scared to death, had shotguns. fellow who threw firebomb was
no where near us. Lady said 'We better go in the house’ when firebomb
was thrown, tried to get in the same door. I would know police officer
whe shat --- got a good look at him in light of bomb",

The observations of Reginald Carter after Dixie Hills Rioting .
(Community Relations Steff)
I arrived into the area about 9:15 A. M., Tuesday, June 20th at
Verbena Street at the EOA West Central Neighborhood Service Center.
I saw the bulldozers and tractors uf the City of Atlanta grading
ground to be used for a play lot. The street cleaners were clearing
the streets. The sewers were being cleaned out and many of the city
officials were in the area giving directions and making plans about what
is to be done next about play lots. The area was without incident.
Later on in the evening, 10:15 P. M., when I arrived back into the area,
policemen were fully armed. I had heard that four (4) people were shot,
one fatally. The area was high in tension and several shots were fired
periodically.
I went to Grady Hospital in an effort to get an official report of the
incident and possibly ta talk to some of the injured. I was only able
to get a story of what happened from a news reporter. She reported:
"A Mr. Timothy Ross was fatally shot while sitting on a step at his
home; Marion Ward was shot between the eyes, his injury was not serious;
Catherine Duncan was shot in the hand while in her apartment. The
shooting resulted from a kid who threw,a fire bomb at a policeman. The
policeman got excited and started shooting". Reginald Rivers, age nine
(9) was shot in the side.
I returned to the area of Dixie Hills and heard that the Mayor had been
there fur a short while. I listened while Reverend Boone, Rush
Congregational Church, Reverend J. C. Ward, Hunter Hill Baptist Church,
Ben Perry, wWAOK, and Douglas Jackson who was shot by the police on the
evening before, was interviewed about the shooting of the afternoon.
I left the area about 12:15 A. M., there were no further incidents.
Wednesday morning: Mayor Allen rendered a 9 P.M. . @ A. M. curfew
under powers granted to him on Monday, and requested the Community
Relations Commission's Executive Committee to hold a meeting to hear
from residents of the area --- notes attached:
Upon recommendation of the local leaders and the Community Relations
Commission the Mayor extended the curfew to midnight.
Washington and Anderson Parks are progressing. Meetings of residents
with apartment managers and store managers in the riot area have
resulted in agreements for better maintenance service in the apartments
and better quality goods in the stores. The Reverends Boone and J. C.
Ward were very interested in this.
At its meeting on Friday, June 23, 1967 the Community Relations
Commission adopted resolutions:
1. Urging the Retail Food Dealers Association to adopt
membership qualifications and to dicipline its members,
2. Requesting an immediate survey of Recreation resources
raiif

3. Asking the Community Council to convene a city-wide meeting

Dear Mayor Allen:
In response to your letter requesting that we assist Mr, Charles
Frame in his efforts to find a place to locate his trailer home,
Mz, Norman Lillegard contacted Mr, Frame and made the following
attempts to help him.
Mr, Frame was interested in a location in the south or southwest
section of the city, and so Mr. Lillegard visited two parks on
Bankhead Highway and two on Steward Avenue. According to Mr.
Frame, he had been told several times during the past year that
he could get a place at one of the parks, but had never heard
from them, The other one on BankHead Avenue had told him that
they did not serve Negroes, Mr, Lillegard was told that there
were no vacancies at either of these places when he called with-
out identifying himself.
Mr, Lillegard and Mr, Frame visited several parks on Steward Avenue
and attempted to make an application at two which had vacancies, At
one of these, Mr, Lillegard was told that they did have vacancies,
but when it became apparent that it was Mr, Frame that wanted the
place, they were told that it was not ready for occupancy. Both
of these parks on Steward Avenue took applications but both pointed
out that they did not accept unmarried persons, and Mr. Frame be-
cause of this would be ineligible,
Mr. Lillegard is keeping in touch with Mr. Frame and we will let
you know af any future developments,
Sincerely,
'
