Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Mayor Allen:
It made me more proud than ever to be a native Atlantan, when
you and Police Chief Herbert Jenkins stood up to those outside
agitators, and succeeded in arresting Stokely Carmichael. I
look for an influx of people wanting to reside in Atlanta where
there is some modicum of safety in our formerly safe country.
To see you -- a slight, grey-haired man -- full of sincerity
in trying to restore order, on top of that car being shaken so
that you had to jump, spoke great courage in action, and is the
kind of match America needs towards all of these troublesome
"youths" and hoodlums. I wish other representatives of the
people in state governments, and in national and federal posts,
would show that kind of courage in handling the infiltrators
and agitators who have been stirring up trouble ever since
these so-called marches, and other distrubing riots of greater
or lesser degree started,
é
You are a great man. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Marl) 8 Henan s
