_ Mr. Scott Nixon
SFC Building
Augusta, Georgia 30902
Dear Mr. Nixon:
In reply to your kind letter of June 25th, I think you
put the cart before the horse. The Negro citizen
earned and deserved full American citizenship
many years ago. The fact that he has been denied
these rights and privileges through the years is the
reason for our problems today.
It is not going to be easy to correct the mistakes of
the past hundred years, but some how or other, we
will do it.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
