September 30, 1966
Mr. Ivan Allen
Mayor the City of Atlanta "Black Power"
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
I am writing not only for myself but for all the white
people in Atlanta.
More power to LESTER MADDOX who the white people will ©
support.
We don't think he is what you and your negro friends
Sam Williams and Leroy Johnson said over WSB, September 29,
1966. I am sure that what you said about the thousands that
voted for Maddox did not help you or them any, it just pro-
moted more votes for Maddox in the November election. One
thing SURE that I know is that neither my friends or myself
are as stupid as you say.
As Leroy Johnson said if we elect Maddox it would turn
the clock back to 1850, well, we are going to sure try.
Let's turn it back to 1850, at that time our Mayor would
have supported the white people and not make a spectacle of
himself in the public, radio or TV with "Black Power". Instead
he would have been attending to his duties as a Mayor or be at
home with his family and not standing on top of cars and getting
up in the middle of the night to parade with "The Black Power".
I think you are a disgrace not only to the City of Atlanta
but to the white race.
GOD help you because before it is over with, you are SURE
going to be needing help.
