Dear Mayor Allen:
LAW OFFICES
HANSELL, POST, BRANDON & DORSEY
SIXTH FLOOR,FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING
ATLANTA 3, GEORGIA
TELEPHONE 522-3558
January 7, 1963
Thank you most sincerely for the recent action which you
took in blocking certain streets in southwest Atlanta to
serve as a "buffer" between the negroes and whites.
For quite some time the negroes have been a Liability and
nuisance to the City of Atlanta.
However, unfortunately, due
to the steady increase of their population and the ability of
some groups of people to "purchase" their vote and other
groups to make a decision for each and every one of them,
their political strength throughout Georgia is becoming more
and more a burden upon our society.
To this end, the future
for us not only means ultimate deterioration of the breeding
of our own white race, but it means that the negro leaders
today are affecting National politics, and in the future will
gain control over the white race.
I feel strongly about this,
in view of the number situation, whereby the negroes are
outnumbering whites in many areas of our country.
I think a
study should be made in every State, in every City to
determine the percentage of negroes in comparison to the whites.
The percentage so far as Atlanta is concerned will probably
surprise us.
Naturally, this enables those who seek office to
have the benefit of this vote.
The only answer that I can
think of is to continue to extend the city limits of Atlanta
so as to include more white citizens’ votes, in view of the
fact that the white population is being forced into the
suburbs.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to select a certain
area of the City of Atlanta and "zone", so to speak, it
colored. This would mean that the negro could not try to
integrate the white sections. If they would be satisfied
with one section of town, this would be fine - however, as
you are aware, they wish to acquire only one of two houses
in each section, so as to cause more turmoil.
I think the politicians of this City and of Georgia should
begin to think of the future; that is, the problem which we
are going to have with the overpopulation negro situation.
The negro who contributes nothing to society, culture or
our economy, is gaining steadfast control in politics and
our personal lives. It is not only our task to fight today's
problems, but to look ahead and see what we can do about the
future problem of the negroes and how they will affect the
nation. The breed itself has cast a burden upon our taxes,
and integration will certainly cause our own white race to
fall. I also think it would be interesting to know how many
negroes pass the white barrier every year.
I am sure a study of the negro situation would be expensive
for Attanta, and it should be done on a national level. I
think a committee of the best educators - scientist, a
historian, financial experts, economist, etc. should be
appointed to make a study of the problem and to come up with
a solution. Surely, the government should understand that
one ruling cannot possibly suit itself to certain locations.
This committee should be the Justices of the Supreme Court -
that is, not a committee of legal representatives, but a
committee of educators who are studying our problem and who
have knowledge of the history of this country. In time, the
negro situation is enough to cause more than turmoil in our
country, more than opportunity for foreign interference, but
the breed speaks for itself - actionwise -, and revolution
could be the future of this country.
These are my feelings, and why I think you, a leader and
politician, have certainly taken a firm stand in this one
City problem to show those of us who are not to be called
segregationists (that is not the word), but rather those of
us who work hard to improve ourselves and to contribute a
little something towards the improvement of mankind, leaving
something of ourselves which will be an asset to life itself,
Page 3
and never forgetting that our children will be left after us
to seek an answer to the problems which have existed during
our own lifetime. Surely our purpose and debt to life is
not to live richly - but to live well.
Thank you for showing us that you are working "for" the
improvements necessary towards maintaining justice in this
area.
Yours very truly,
At he
