Challenge to injunctions tempers Jackson race tension
In Jackson Mississippi Negro leaders planned a mass demonstration protesting the fatal shooting of a youth at Hinds County jail. Police prepared mass arrest measures and a special jail at the county fairgrounds, but the protest was called off on advice of lawyers from New York. The event followed the June 1963 shooting of Medgar Evers and the coroner ruled the latest death justifiable. Governor Johnson attacked lawless elements while denying reports about soft on segregation. Elsewhere, Alabama Governor Wallace spoke at a citizens council meeting in Memphis. In Chicago Elmer Angsman scored twice as the Cardinals beat the Eagles 28 21 for the 1947 NFL title.
