Federal examiners to register illiterate Negroes in the South
Attorney General Katzenbach said federal examiners will register illiterate Negroes in the South just as illiterate whites have been registered. He noted teams will operate in 10 to 15 southern counties beginning Tuesday, with some examiners being Negroes and no special protections planned for them. The DOJ also planned lawsuits challenging poll tax laws in Texas Alabama and Virginia and considered potential political shifts as Negro registration expands.
