Governor calls up Guard to protect civil rights march
John son issued two documents to support the march through the state. A proclamation cited Wallace refusal to provide protection as ordered by Federal Judge Frank M Johnson Jr and an executive order gave the Secretary of Defense authority to use the state's Army and Air National Guard. The move raises the possibility that Negroes could protect the march while the Bureau says no Negroes serve in the Army Guard but two in the Air Guard. The march aims to dramatize alleged state discrimination against Negroes and their voting rights.
