Parham, Jr. to Lonnie King regarding the fortieth anniversary of the Atlanta Student Movement, it is suggested that the City of Atlanta pay tribute to past participants and present them with keys to the city and state and that a follow-up report titled "A Look at Atlanta, Forty Years Later" be compiled by the AU Center as a student project and presented during the anniversary. The letter discusses plans for commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Atlanta University Student Movement, including a freedom run to generate funds for scholarships, a day of workshops, and a banquet to honor supporters, with the Atlanta Inquirer chronicling the journey of the movement and highlighting participants and their contributions. 4 pages. |
