Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sir:
We take this opportunity to express our support for the re-
commendations made by the citizens group convened by Mr.
Bennie Smith on Thursday, July 27th. Our members have been
polled and we are authorized to attach our names to the
following recommendations:
I. That the Mayor and Board of Aldermen be urged to
appoint a Human Relations Commission, with power
and a paid staff, for the purpose of acting upon
matters which need attention in neighborhoods and
that "grass roots" representation be included in
the appointments.
That all leaders be asked to use their influence
to suspend demonstrations until the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen could act on the recommendation,
Monday, August 1, 1966.
We believe that such a Human Relations Commission would
offer a permanent channel of communication through which
solutions to problems could be sort and that crisis situations
prevented. We sincerely hope that the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen give these recommendations favorable consideration.
Very truly yours,
Kony Chapa hol bles)
