They are appealing to their pe ople to t ake pride in bl acknes s and unite in effective ac tion. The challenge to Negroe s to ove rcome fe ar and pa ralysis is accompanied by a challenge t o the white c ommunity to overcome its fear and int r ans igence. These chal lenges m us t be met . The Ame rican F r iends Service Com mittee str uggle s against exc lus ion of any minority from the mainstream of Americ an soc iety. Its programs in the c ities concentrate on getting people to recognize their own problems and t ake initiative in de aling with them. The programs search for new ways both to break down barriers and to build s elfreliance - ways that can be copied and adapted by other groups in other c it ies. ,CITIES, JOBS& HOUSES LANDLORDS AND TENANTS WORK TOGETHER In Boston, concerned with the problems of welfare tenants, the Service Committee is bringing together tenants, small landlords, and the welfare department to find solutions to the problems of apartments without heat, garbage that stands uncolle cted, falling plaster, rats, and roaches. In Chicago the Service Committee's staff has been working with the Chicago Freedom Movement beaded by Martin Luther King. Block clubs organized by the Service Committee have been conve rted to locals of the Union To End Slums. Contracts are negotiated between landlords and tenants, specifying the r e sponsibilitie s of each. If negotiation fails, the tenants may resort to a rent strike in which r ent is held in e s crow by the bargaining agent. Working in a depre ssed community in Pasadena, California, the Se rvice Committee has helped organiz e a businessme n's council, which is working on upgrading busine sse s and supplying new jobs. The staff has started youth programs for drop-outs and has helped form a young adult group to work on recreational programs and activities for young people. It has started an interfamily visiting program with churc hes in the area to give familie s a chance to know pe ople and places outside their own neighborhoods. A new program in We st Oakland is trying to e stablish communication among groups in the c ommunity, and b etween them and groups outside the are a. Distrust of the s urrounding world is so high that any m e aningful communic ation is difficult. Seminars ar e be ing planned to bring We st Oakland r e sidents and outside rs together in a neutral atmospher e wher e they c an explore mutual problems. The final emphasis of the program will be to stimulate the inte r e st and effo r ts of the wider community !n the problems of the people of We st Oakland. In a dense ly populated area of San Francisc o, the Se r vice Committee got togethe r p arents who had c omplaints about the elem entary school, and this group bec ame known a s the School Com mittee . They decided the logical place to wor k for changes was the PTA, but the princ ipal had repeatedly re fus ed to allow PT A meetings at night when working parents could attend. School offic i als cont inued t o discourage them . They petitioned the s uperintendent, with copies t o the press. Now, for the fir s t t ime in the history of the s chool , there are P TA meetings at night , and a parent has even been e lected trea s urer. PROGRAMS OF THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE �EMPLOYMENT LINKED TO HOUSING Programs in San Francisco; Richmond, Indiana; and a new program to sta rt in Atlanta link two of the Se rvice Committ ee' s concerns- equal employment and fai r housing. A man's ability to find a job, and an employer's ability to hire him, may depend on his being able to live in the vicinity of the plant. The Committee feels that it is not enough to make employment open to all r egardl e s s of race , but that housing must be made available as well, and close to the job. Staff members found one government bureau in the suburbs of Washington that must s end a bus into the city eve ry day to pick up twenty secretarie s because r acial discrimination prevents them from living near the bureau. Many firms with government contracts have equal employment polic ie s . The Service Committee works with personnel people and executive s of the s e c ompanie s to help them s ecure housing in the community for qualified applic ants of a minority group . MANY PATHS TO FAIR HOUSING TRIED In 1951 the Se r vice Committee responded to a crisis that developed in Cicero, Illinois, following t he move of a Negro family into a p reviously all-white area. Since then the Committee has been increasingly involved in the drive to bring about equal opportunity in housing, believing that members of any group should be able to freely rent or buy in the neighborhood in which they want to live. In New York; Philadelphia; Chicago; Xenia, Ohio; and Muncie, Indiana, the staff of the Committee's housing program works with buyers, sellers, builders, the real estate industry, government agencies, concerned citizens and organizations, and members of the nonwhite community to open more areas for nonsegregated living and to create a receptive atmosphere for minorities moving into all-white communities. Staff members sponsor housing discussions on TV and radio, set up listing services to bring together the minority buyer and the will ing seller. They escort families to local brokers to assure equal service , initiate community education campaigns, organiz e "good neighbor" pledge dr ives, and hold buyers' confer enc es to inform minority families of their legal rights and to provide them with homebuying information and enc ouragement. The Committe e has helped fo r m fair housing coi,mcils, organiz e d sur veys of comm unity attitude s , and supported nondisc r iminatory housing legislation. It is now mobilizing Negro buyers and renters to take advantage of new openings and to confront real estate brokers with the need to change discriminatory practices. The Philadelphia Metropolitan Housing Program works with the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration in developing an affirmative policy of nondiscrimination. The present practices of these agencies and others are tested. Information is obtained on new developments built with FHA money and on foreclosures of FHA and VA mortgages. A range of approaches to the Negro community is tested, so that home s eeke rs can le arn of housing opportunities throughout the metropolitan area.

It has started an interfamily visiting program with churches in the area to give families a chance to know people and places out- side their own neighborhoods. A new program in West Oakland is trying to establish communication among groups in the community, and between them and groups outside the area. Distrust of the surrounding world is so high that any meaningful communi- cation is difficult. Seminars are being planned to bring West Oakland residents and outsiders together in a neutral at- mosphere where they can explore mutu- al problems. The final emphasis of the program will be to stimulate the inter- est and efforts of the wider community in the problems of the people of West Oakland. In a densely populated area of San Francisco, the Service Committee got together parents who had complaints about the elementary school, and this group became known as the School Committee. They decided the logical place to work for changes was the PTA, but the principal had repeatedly re- fused to allow PTA meetings at night when working parents could attend. School officials continued to discourage them. They petitioned the superintend- ent, with copies to the press. Now, for the first time in the history of the school, there are PTA meetings at night, and a parent has even been elected treasurer. PROGRAMS OF THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE  EMPLOYMENT LINKED TO HOUSING Programs in San Francisco; Richmond, Indiana; and a new program to start in Atlanta link two of the Service Commit- tee’s concerns — equal employment and fair housing. A man’s ability to find a job, and an employer’s ability to hire him, may depend on his being able to live in the vicinity of the plant. The Committee feels that it is not enough to make employment open to all regard- less of race, but that housing must be made available as well, and close to the job. Staff members found one government bureau in the suburbs of Washington that must send a bus into the city every day to pick up twenty secretaries because racial discrimi- nation prevents them from living near the bureau. Many firms with govern- ment contracts have equal employment policies. The Service Committee works with personnel people and executives of these companies to help them secure housing in the community for qualified applicants of a minority group. MANY PATHS TO FAIR HOUSING TRIED In 1951 the Service Committee re- sponded to a crisis that developed in Cicero, Illinois, following the move of a Negro family into a previously all-white area.

Sweat Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Sweat: This is in regard to your letter regarding the VISTA project as it applies to the proposed Model Neighborhood Program in Atlanta, The request for assistance came from Mr. C. G. Ezzard, President, Summerhill Civic League, and a member of the Atlanta Community Relations Commission. A copy is attached. In view of his request and your letter of May 24, we are in agreement that this request should be a part of your coordinating program. Either a letter from you or a conference with Mr. Ezzard would be greatly appreciated. Our neighborhood meetings have convinced us of the intense interest of the citizens in having additional information about the Model City, and we will welcome your suggestions as to where these inquiries should be forwarded for information. Perhaps it would be helpful if you could meet with the Commission and make specific outlines of where the Commission can be of most assistance in this program, Page Two Mr. Dan E. Sweat June 2, 1967 It goes without saying that since our aims are identical and parallel that there will be overlapping responsibilities.

SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison May 26, 1967 Mr. Irving K. Kaler, Chairman Community Relations Commission 1203 City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Kaler: j ' I I was very surprised to learn that the Community Relations Commission had filed a Vista Project Proposal with the Office of Economic Opportunity for the purpose of providing a "reliable source of information on the various programs having to do with the proposed Model Neighborhood Program in Atlanta." As you know, the Model Neighborhood Program is a project of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta. A planning grant application was approved by the Board and Mayor on March 6th requesting funds to plan a Model Neighborhood rmder the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966. A key part of this application provides for a Community Relations Coordinator, four Neighborhood Involvement Specialists and twelve Supporting Community Development Aides { citizen planners who will be employed from among the residents of the neighborhood.) A copy of the proposed organization chart is attached. --·1il. The wording of the Community Relations Commission application to OEO ( copy attached) implies: 1 ,, 1. That information provid e d through the Model City organiz ation might not be "r e liable" . 2. T hat groups must plan "independently" of the City o r M odel City ag e ncy. �May 24, 1967 Mr. Irving K. Kaler, Chairman Community Relations Commission Page Two The Model City proposal was developed with the cooperation of many groups, agencies and individual citizens of the Model City Neighborhood. Citizens of both races were involved. The Mayor's Office and all the agencies and groups involved in the preparation of the application have acted in good faith with all involved. We have attempted to provide reliable, intelligent and honest information on all phases of the program as we have progressed to this stage. We feel that the Model Cities organizational structure as proposed will be able to provide for full involvement and participation for all citizens and groups interested in being a part of the project. It is my opinion that any information group i:1-S proposed, using temporary outside residents such as Vista Volunteers, would tend to increase the confusion and anxiety which might exist in the community. Since the Model Neighborhood Program is being coordinated from the Mayor's Office, it would be helpful if any proposals which might affect the Model Neighborhood Program were discussed with . this office. If we are ever to hope to achieve full communications and coordination among our deprived citizens, we certainly must first be able to have cooperation and understanding among those of us who have been assigned to help. · ' ___P!
