Deer Mr. Allen, lf
Just a not to state that I think you. made a brave and courageous
stand before the Senate and that I'am behind you all of the way.
My voice here in the South isn't very: powerful, but I do get to
see many people and periodically c do some preaching and in all
of my contacts I will deligently support the stand you have made.
Although I come from Washington State, I have grown to love Atlanta
and the many fine people in this city. Men such as yourselves have
given me more confidence in the South and its people than I ever
thought possible. Your courage in face of the bitter and cynical
obstacles amazes me, and I must admit it also baffles me. God
Bless you. My prayers and thoughts are with you and I wish I
could figure out more construotive ways to put my actions behind
you also.
One of the ways we are hoping to confront our youth with an objective
way of looking at these problems is by @ Youth Week with its theme:
Man Against Himself--a study of race relations. I believe our
Hinister of Education asked you or one of your staff members to
speak to us durins this week. I do hoy e it will be possible for
you to come and be with us. These fine children are often con-
fused by the conflicting claims of diverse opinion and need to be
lead to take®constructive stand on this vitally important issue.
Vl
Again I want to commend you for the position you took and are taking
on the Race Issue.
