Committee on the Appeal for Human Rights

1958/1962

1960-1969

The city of Atlanta, major merchants, and African American leaders have reached an agreement to desegregate lunch counters and other facilities. The settlement followed negotiations led by a retired lawyer, and it is supported by the African American community to end protests, picketing, and immediate boycotts. However, there is an "if" clause to the agreement, which states that if no school desegregation occurs in the fall, then there will be no lunch counter desegregation at that time. 1 page.
