NAACP Wins Stay Against Port Gibson Damages Fight
NAACP calls judge ruling a great victory as it blocks 12 white merchants from collecting 1.2 million in damages and lowers an appeal bond. Judge Ormia Smith stayed the judgment during appeal and replaced 125 percent bond with 100 thousand. The ruling also narrows prohibitions on NAACP picketing to protect free speech rights. The case stems from a 1960s boycott in Port Gibson, Mississippi.
