RE: KKK Picketing ~ Harlan “a.
427 Peyton Rd.
Capte RoE Little
We were informed tha KKK was going to picket bho barricades on Peyton and Harland Rds.
Instead they picketed the residence of R.A Bright, 427 Peyton Rd. phone 755=8047, A
' spokesman for the Klan stated Mr. Bright had sold his house to a negro. Mr. Brights house
is losated approximately one-quarter of a mile south of the barricade on Peyton Rd.
Four uniformed kElansmen picketed the residence, while three stood by, resting one of the
four from time to time. It lasted about one hour, dispersing at 9:30 FM. The following
klansmen were identified: CALVIN CRAIG, W.E CLEAPOR, Rt. 2, Austell, Ga., HAROLD LOUIS
COURSEY, 1617 North Ave. NeW.e, RICHARD LEE POWELL, 145 Stroud Dr., J.D JOHNSON 1974 Maywood
Pls YW,
Later we (Capt. Little) went to 427 Peyton Rd. and talked to Mr. and Mrs. RoA Bright. Mr.
Bright stated that he had a call from the ©.C Thornton Real Estate Co, And was told that now
was his chance to sell his house (he has been trying to sell his house for 4 years ).
Leaving the impression that they have bought up several houses in that neighborhood, On the
sedond conversation with Thornton, he learned that he was a colored real estate agent, He
was then approached by Mr. Virgil Copeland and Mr. Sam Massell, of the Southwest Citizens
Cooperation. At this time he rescinded any offer he had made with Thornton, and agreed in
writing to sell the house to The Southwest Citizens Cooperation.
