NAACP Plans Legal Fight Over Alabama Ban
NAACP leader Tobias H. Channing announced the board adopted a policy to instruct attorneys to seek a hearing on the merits of the Alabama injunction at the earliest time. The group says it will not be intimidated and will pursue court action and public opinion effort.
