Second class posiace paid al Allanla, Georiia · SEqREGAT ION Social Consciousness-Peyto Road? Empire Real ·Estate Boards Stands Firm The entire free world has assailed the "Wall" built by the Russians and Communists of East Berlin along the East and West Berlin border. Shortly after Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen was elected mayor of our city, primarily due to the crucial Negro vote, he visited Berlin. Mr. Allen condemned the "Berlin Wall." Now just a year after the Mayor's election, a proposal was presented by the Board of Aldermen attributed to Mayor Allen and others which brings a "Berlin Wall" to Atlanta, as they attempt to close or "Wall-in" several c ity streets. The proposal to close these streets (Peyton and Harland) is a vicious scheme to provide a "buffer" in an effort to block the expansion of the Negro community. The Negro community which is already nearly "strangled" from the point of land holdings by various schemes arid "gentlemen agreements," Negroes comprise 39%of Atlanta's population, .but hold only 16% of the land. The Empire Real Estate, one of the most effective organization in the Negro community has taken the lead in fighting this pro posal. We recognize the special business and commercial in W ON'·T LET 60 / terest of the real estate group. However. we feel that the Empire Real Estate Board is rendering at the same time a valuable service in protecting the basic rights of the entire Negro com m unity.
