Angela Davis opens trial with claim of innocence and radical defense
In San Jose Angela Davis in her own defense declares total innocence and calls the state's charges fantastical as she critiques the case, stating that guns found in her name likely reached Jonathan Jackson without her knowledge while linking the Soledad Brothers to the broader struggle for freedom. A housewife witness, Maria Graham, recalls the courtroom terror during the 1970 Soledad incident as the trial moves forward.

Court rejects school's plea that it can't define 'Negro'
In New Orleans, the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a lower ruling against Flagler County Florida School Board for trying to avoid integration by defining race. The board had labeled students "Orientals" and argued it could not define "Negro." The HEW definitions were used, but the case highlighted ongoing disputes over race categorization in desegregation efforts. Superintendent James O. Craig funded his own appeal before retiring due to ill health. The court reaffirmed that segregation must be eliminated and rejected excuses based on undefined terms.
