Undeserved-Abuse For Atlanta The civil r igh ts movement will lose gro un d ·fasl if Negroes fall fo r the phony "bl ack power li Lany chanted by the liJ<es -0£ Snick's Stokely Carmichael. The Carmichael crowd demonstra ted it poten tial for evil in Atlan ta t he other n ight when it t urned an inciden t into a full blown riot . Atlan ta is known t h1;oughout t he na tion as a Southern city wil·h a solid record o.f i;-aci?-1 progres . . Communication between the Negro communi ty and Lhe city's leadership as represent- ed by Mayor Ivan Allen was excellent. Ye t when t he courageous mayor strode in to t he crowd and appeared to h ave it under control, t he Carmichael ga ng worked its mi schief as though t hey h ad rehearsed i_t. The resulting destruction will set race relations in Atl anta back many yeaJiS. Atlanta did not deserve t his a bu se. And as for t he rank and fil e demonstrators who were deceived by t he call for "black power," we quote Mayor Allen's lamen t : "They don· t k now. They j ust don't know." �
