Dear Mayor Allen:
On July 21, 1966, a meeting of community leaders was held at
the Price High School Community Center that had as its major
objective that of discussing problems that are prevailing in the
City of Atlanta. Another major objective of this meeting was to
determine if problems prevalent in the Atlanta community could be
resolved without unnecessary hardships being placed on citizens of
this community,
After a lengthy discussion of prevailing problems and subsequent
suggestions for solutions to the problems, the group assembled
decided that a resolution should be passed which would request the
Mayor and Aldermanic Board to establish a human relations office
with direct responsibilities to aid in resolving problems that are
prevailing in our city.
It is the sincere desire of many citizens of the Atlanta area that
such a director and such an office be commissioned as early as pos-
sible so that this office can begin work on preventing burdensome
problems from occurring. I am therefore sending this letter at this
time to remind you to bring this matter before the Aldermanic Board.

Honorable Ivan Allen August 1, 1966 Page 2
This letter comes from me simply because Mr. Bennie Smith, who
called the meeting, asked me to serve as chairman of the group.
I wish to thank you for your cooperation and for your efforts in
seeing that this request gets to the Aldermanic Board,
On the enclosed sheet will be found a copy of the resolution.
Names of the persons who attended the meeting and who voted for
the resolution are stipulated at the end of the resolution.
With kindest personal and professional regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
H. E. Tate
