Judge Orders March From Selma to Montgomery

He approved the Negro plan for a Friday start and Tuesday finish with support vehicles and ordered Gov. Wallace and officials to protect the procession as it travels along U.S. 80. The ruling cites the immense wrongs against Alabama Negroes and notes the march tests constitutional bounds.
