Federal judge orders Wallace to stop blocking desegregation
A federal judge barred Governor George C. Wallace from blocking the enrollment of Negroes at the University of Alabama. The injunction, issued by Judge Seybourne Lynne, declares Wallace or anyone acting with him cannot interfere with the court ordered desegregation. The ruling preserves federal supremacy and limits state sovereignty claims. Wallace planned a statewide TV appeal urging people to stay off campus as federal troops mobilized at Ft. McClellan.
