The Honorable
Ivan Allen
Mayor, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
We read with interest the newspaper accounts of the racial disturbances in
your city. Somehow or other I cant feel sorry for you personally. After
your wining and dining of Dr. King when he won a Nobel Peace Prize. (This
prize was certainly the greatest mistake the committee could have made;
as he certainly was the most undeserving individual to be awafded same)
You have pushed integration in this once Southern city to the point of no
return,
You should know the Negro better than that. The old cliché about giving a
a Negro an inch and he will take a mile, has proved true up there, hasn't it?
What "liberal" Atlanta needs is less integration and more "apartheid",
Looks like the chickens have come home to roost, I'd say.
Sincerely,
OS Carry
