ATLANTA URBAN CORPS
30 COURTLAND STREET, N.E. / PHONE [404] 524-8091 / ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303
PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE
Date: June 27, 1969
Subject: The Opportunity for Black Involvement
For future details, contact: Ken Millwood
Public Relations Director
For Immediate Release:
The concept of permitting active young minds to serve their community by
attacking its crucial problems is being brought to life this summer for the first
time in Atlanta. The Atlanta Urban Corps is placing competent college students
into summer jobs with relevance to the contemporary urban situation.
The Atlanta Urban Corps is a student conceived, student managed organization
which is designed to draw upon the mental resources of concerned college students
in coping with city problems. The Corps has students working in areas of mental
health, city services, social work, traffic engineering, education, community art,
and many others. The students gain an educational experience unknown in any
American classroom, The city benefits in that crucial jobs that have long been
ignored finally get qualified attention.
A most important aspect of the community-student dialogue is the meaningful
involvement of black students in the problems of urban life. Reality teaches us
that blacks are those whose life-styles are confined most heavily by the Metropolis.
Therefore, the true worth of the Urban Corps experiment is built on the strong
core of black students participating in the program.
The Atlanta Urban Corps is pleased to announce the placement of the following
students from the Atlanta University Complex. As can be seen by their jobs,
these students are participating in agencies which can help solve the fundamental
ills of the city.
