Atlanta: From Summerhill To Collier Heights
(Editor's Note: Realizing that the present racial crisis will profoundly affect the lives of all University students, the Kernel felt
that a first-han- d
report on the Negro crusade was appropriate. A
writer was sent to Atlanta as part of the I K YMCA Seminar group,
and the following is the first installment in his report.)
By DAVID V. HAWPE
Kernel Managing Editor

At this juncture in history, Atlanta, Ga., represents the
economic and cultural nerve center of the South.
More important, in a time of racial crisis, Atlanta is the
heart of the Negro Revolution.

She is a city torn between alternatives.
Atlanta, in many respects, is answering the 20th century's challenge to progress. Yet she Is shackled by the traditions of an age

The other side of the city's personality la a section bounded by
Spring Street on the east and the Chattahoochee River on the west,
an area 10 miles long and two to four miles wide. This is the West
Side: the Negro ghetto.
Within the Negro community itself the contrasts are poignant.
It is only a few minutes' drive from the rambling luxury of wealthy
Negroes' Collier Heights estates to the rows of ramshackle firetrups
pressed close together in Summerhill.
Among affluent Negroes, there are those who control old money,
represented by the businesses lining Auburn Avenue, heart of the

West Side. Many of the "new rich" have established themselves on
Hunter Street, a few blocks away.
Among whites, resistance to integration is least in the highest
levels and greatest in the lowest levels. Yet the
most exclusive private school In Atlanta remains segregated.
Among Negroes, the elite are reluctant to have the
community, the capitalists' lifeblood, rocked strongly. And only 20
percent of Atlanta's Negro students, ostensible leaders of the Black
Revolution, participate actively.
The city's Negro community, as well as Its white population, is
provided with the finest in educational facilities, leadership, and capital. Atlantans say that's the difference between their city and Birmingham, Ala.
Yet 55 percent of all Negro births In Atlanta are Illegitimate.
Negroes were Involved in 3,153 cases of delinquency during 1963.
while whites were Involved in 1.971, although Negroes constitute lest
than half the city's population.
Two weeks ago. the city's aldermen were debating the proposed
site for a multi million dollar stadium. At the same time, 60 percent
of the community's 185.000 Negroes were living In substandard
housing.
Although Atlanta has been publicized as an example of peaceful
racial progress, Negro leaders are quick to assert that much of the

Conference, the Rev. Sam Williams, said recently, "The basic attituda
