The Honorable Ivan Allen JY
Mayor of Atlanta Ga.
City Hall
Dear Sir:
This letter is to express to you our profound regret for
the disrespect shown to you during your most courageous
effort to calm our people during the disturbance a few
days ago.We are a group of five-thousand families,
pledged to live together as neighbors,with sincere re-
spect for each other.
We are all races and creed living here.We are not just
against violence,we just won't have it because we have
lived long enough to know that it does not solve any
problems.We feel too,that it is down-right stupid not to
work with the Whites who try sincerely to respect our bid
for a better life for ourselves and our children.
Sincerely,
ecosa CG tebed f
