Subject
The Integration Crisis of 1961 at UGA
Description
In this letter addressed to Dean of Men, William "Bill" Tate, a woman named Pat Eakins expresses her respect for the Dean, as well as her expectation that he should pass on another letter she wrote to Charlayne Hunter, further expressing support. Within the letter, Eakins urges Tate to share an attached letter of support and encouragement with Ms. Charlayne Hunter, though both letters were found with William Tate's belongings, suggesting that the letter adressed to Hunter was never delivered by Tate. This letter, specifically this page, exhibits one way in which the public eye turned to the Dean as the leader of the initiative of integration.
