The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allens
I should like to send you a brief word of thanks in behalf
of my family and friends for the testimony which you gave before
the Senate Commerce Committee last week. Your forthright support
of legislation to eliminate the evils of segregation has not gone
unnoticed or unappreciated. I salute you for your wisdom and your
courage.
Without question the progreas made in Atlanta has been an
example to the whole country. Fortunately, Nashville is also
making progress, but other cities in Tennessee and in the states
further south of us have a long way to move. May you keep up the
good work and win the support of all fair-minded citizens of your
city, state and country.
Yours truly,
Gregory T. Armstrong
Assistant Professor of
Church History
