Negro Students Stage Weeklong Protest Over Rape Case
In Tallahassee about 2 800 Negro students staged an orderly protest with a 700 person rally, part of a week of demonstrations seeking justice in a rape case. Four suspects were charged by State Atty W D and held without bail as the case moved toward the next grand jury. Policies and politics around capital punishment were debated in the Legislature, while calls for vigorous prosecution came from local and national groups including the SCLC. The Florida A&M community supported peaceful demonstrations amid strong emotions. The victim’s privacy was protected by state law.
