Court Bars Eviction of Negro Sharecroppers
The U S 6th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a temporary injunction to halt eviction of 200 Negro sharecroppers in Haywood County Tennessee who registered to vote in the 1960s. The ruling cautioned it does not decide whether the 1957 Civil Rights Act can compel private landowners to contract with tenants. The court noted the action targets evictions tied to voting rights while allowing legitimate landlord actions.
