Our College was built on striving for positive change. When Ivan Allen Jr. was Atlanta’s mayor, he removed “white” & “colored” signs from @CityofAtlanta facilities on his first day in office. 
Allen testified in Congress in support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the only white Southern politician of significance to do so.
Allen worked with great leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. to guide Atlanta through racial integration without the violence that occurred in many Southern cities. The two set an example for the nation to follow in the fight to eliminate racial segregation. #BHM
