2010 Pine Forest Drive, N. E.
Atlanta, Georgia 30329
August 1, 1963
Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
Unless you would be willing to take your family
into a swimming pool filled with negroes from all walks of
life, I don't believe that you had any right to change the
status quo at this time in opening the pools to negroes,
I pass through Piedmont Park every day and the pool
is going to waste. We all know and deplore the use of the
Candler Park pool.
No, I wouldn't like to be Mayor and make the decisions,
but you chose to be Mayor and I want to be put on record as
stating that I think you made a very sorry decision and also
that I think that your testimony recently in Washington was
ridiculous and that it did not reflect the thinking of the
great majority of Atlantians and those in this area.
