Birmingham Schools Close After Bombing and Violence
Birmingham faced a day of desegregation turmoil as three schools ordered integrated by federal courts were closed at Gov. George Wallace's request after a bombing of a Negro leader's home and violent clashes. John L. Coley, 20, was killed and at least 20 injured as police and guardsmen restrained thousands of demonstrators near West End and Ramsay high schools. The outbreak followed earlier registration at Graymont Elementary and prompts a legal bid to stay the court order.
