NAACP Ordered to Halt Alabama Operations in Segregation Protest
In Montgomery Alabama Circuit Judge Walter B Jones issued a temporary injunction freezing NAACP activity in the state. Alabama Attorney General John Patterson said the group funded and organized a six month Negro bus boycott and attempted to enroll Black students at the all white University of Alabama. The order remains in effect indefinitely unless dissolved or an answer is filed within 30 days. The case follows Rosa Parks and the Montgomery boycott that sparked broader anti segregation actions.
