Dear Sir:
I am pr oud, as a citizen of Atlanta , of y our pers onal courage
and action today. It appear s not only to be a 11 hot day 11 but
rather a power struggle betwe en Black fower or wavering black
p ovrer f or ces with r esp onsible black and whd>te citizens in between.
I applaud y our courage and y ou have my support in what methods
pos sible t o discourage the irresponsible e limate , and to encourage
responsible citizens to help this wavering black power element
rea l ize that the only true progress for this ci ty, and as a
result its citizens , can be achieved through responsi ble leadership and law and order f or its citizens.
I was proud of you tonight, and of t he Atlanta Polic e Department t hose men, both black and white who were in the midst of a mob.
Yours truly,
~/-7.~
Rol and B. Anderson
