Federal court clears way for Selma to Montgomery march
U S District Judge Frank M Johnson Jr barred state and county officials from blocking a 50 mile civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery and ordered Gov George Wallace and state trooper commander Col Al Lingo to provide protection. The ruling affirmed Negroes have a constitutional right to march peacefully to seek voting rights and protested discrimination. Sheriff James G Clark of Dallas County was prohibited from interference amid past arrests during Selma demonstrations. The judge noted federal help to guard does not remove state responsibility and condemned police brutality as aimed to stop voter registration and demonstrations.
