Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Mayor:
I appreciated your answer to my letter of January 3, 1963 re:
"The Atlanta Wall". I said in my first letter that I realized that
my information concerning the events which lead to the erection of
this wall was such that I made no claims to knowing how best to
solve the basic problem. Nevertheless, I felt that the action that
had been taken had caused the "Image" of Atlanta to suffer enormously
in the minds of intelligent people of good will throughout our
nation and the world.
Your response pointed out that were I in possession of all the facts
I would agree with the stand that had been taken.
Since getting your letter I have tried to learn more about the
problems involved and I would be the last to minimize the fact that
these problems are of great moment and not at all easy of solution.
Nevertheless, I would again reiterate that it is my considered
judgement that the kind of barricade that we have on Peyton and
Harland Roads will be a blot on Atlantalts good reputation and I am
convinced that the sooner this blot is erased, the better forauir
future.
I hope that you will understand the spirit in which I make this
criticism. As one who is frequently accused of being a one man
Chamber of Commerce in my conversations with "furriners", both
in and out of Atlanta, and as a resident for fifty of my fifty-two
years, I want for our town only the best of all good things.
Warm personal regards.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,
