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.

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.

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?
