Mayor Ivan Allen Ire
Mayor of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
It is regretable that a handful of ultra-
radicals are trying to tarnish the good in-
age of Atlanta. As a Westerner who visited
your city a few years ago, when conditions
were not as favorable as they are today, I
said then end I say now; Every Negro should
visit Atlante and see the fine colleges,
homes with swimming po@ls and know some of
the outstanding leaders in the Negro com-
munity. :
When I think of Atlanta, I think of my Fra-
ternity Brothers, Drs. Ben Mays, Rufus Cle-
ments, Albert Manley, Brazil, McClinton and
his fine hospital, Jesse Blayton and his
radio station, the late Judge Waldon, the
Standerd Life Insurance Company, and many
many other fine American Institutions.
atlanta is truly the Athens of the South
with its meny colleges. Morehouse hes
turned out more college presidents, pro-
fessors and successful business man than
any of our other colleges.
I believe the true image of Atlanta could
be created if your very liberal Atlanta
Constitution would be made public by
the contributions of the educated people
who live there, rather than by some
agitator, pictured on the front page of
our Denver Post with his eyes bulging
as it was necessary for the officer to
subdue him before arrest.
