Nationwide Resistance Threatens Movement Over Bus Boycott
A mass protest plan emerges as a possibility if Alabama's civil rights crisis lingers. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell announces a nationwide one hour work stoppage by all Negroes on March 28 to support the Montgomery bus boycott, with a National Deliverance Day of Prayer on March 23. Negro leaders in New York back the plan, while Montgomery sees a 24 hour pilgrimage and 100 defendants in anti boycott indictments. Governor Folsom gains editorial support for a bi racial commission to ease white Negro tensions.
