  • Letter from John Llewellyn
    Written from Ann Arbor resident John Llewellyn to then Mayor Cecil O. Creal, this letter provides a racist argument against the potential passing of a city-wide fair housing ordinance. Of note is a mentioned housing facility at 307 N. State St. in Ann Arbor, where a racist landlord described to Llewellyn her use of a dog to intimidate potential Black residents. Attached to this letter is a response from Mayor O. Creal, which assures Llewellyn that his concerns are heard and will be taken into consideration by city government.
