September 10, 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mayor Allen: It made me more proud than ever to be a native Atlantan, when you and Police Chief Herbert Jenkins stood up to those outside agitators, and succeeded in arresting Stokely Carmichael. I look for an influx of people wanting to reside in Atlanta where there is some modicum of safety in our formerly safe country. To see you -- a slight, grey-haired man -- full of sincerity in trying to restore order, on top of that car being shaken so that you had to jump, spoke great courage in action, and is the kind of match America needs towards all of these troublesome "youths" and hoodlums. I wish other representatives of the people in state governments, and in national and federal posts, would show that kind of courage in handling the infiltrators and agitators who have been stirring up trouble ever since these so-called marches, and other distrubing riots of greater or lesser degree started. You are a great man. Thank you. Sincerely yours, ~e,~ (Mrs.) Hazel E. Hanson 6700 Leyte Drive, Apt. C 2 Oxon Hill, Maryland 20021 �
