Black coalition denounces Chicago curfew plan
A Chicago coalition of black groups advocated an unofficial curfew barring whites from Negro areas 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The move drew swift denials from leaders like Rev. C T Vivian and Earl Doty and drew opposition from Sen Charles Chew and the ACLU. Mayor Daley defended free movement as police reported no incidents. The group warned of a black tribunal and a black watch to monitor officials and the Hampton Clark deaths.
