The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
My dear Mayor Allen:
Since reading about your efforts in Atlanta to ease
the integration problem, I wanted you to know how very much I
admire and respect your stand. As a white person born and raised
in the South, I am fully aware of the criticism and pressure you
undoubtedly have been under personally. I can only wish there
were more Southern leaders...Northern, Eastern, and Western ones,
too, for that matter...with the courage you have.
In paying tribute to your endeavors, I will say that
you have helped the physically beautiful city of Atlanta to
achieve the deeper beauty of integrity, tolerance and enlighten-
ment. I would be very proud to live there!
My prayers will be with you as you continue your
courageous work.
Sincerely,
Creby. 0) Mle
