Judge bans NAACP in Alabama topic inflames civil rights era
Circuit Judge Walter B. Jones issued a temporary injunction banning the NAACP from operating in Alabama at the request of Attorney General John Patterson. The order bars the group from conducting business, forming new chapters, or collecting funds while a hearing is set on dissolution. The suit accuses the NAACP of backing the Montgomery bus boycott and paying to enroll two Black women at the University of Alabama to challenge admissions policies. Local Negroes have boycotted Montgomery buses since December.
