Chicago marches widen to open housing in city
Civil rights leaders say marches into white Chicago neighborhoods will expand and continue until Negroes can move into housing of their choice. Albert A. Raby announced eight groups will enter Jefferson Park and downtown areas including the Chicago Real Estate Board as planning begins for a housing summit. In Washington, a roughly 50 person crowd protested arrests of two youths, throwing rocks and firecrackers with five injured and ten arrested. In New Orleans, a federal appeals court reversed two death row convictions after finding Negroes were excluded from juries, part of guidelines for jury selection in the south. Judge Christenberg reprimanded segregation leader Leander Perez for contempt of court.
