First Breakthrough
Seen In Albany, Ga
ALBANY. GA, — The NAACP
Legal Defense and Educational
Fund Monday announced the first
major breakthrough in the long-
stymied racial crisis here.
The U. S. Court of Appeals,
Fifth Circuit, has ordered a low
er court to issue an injunction
against city officials here that
will allow Negro citizens to en
joy many of the goals sought
during months of peaceful dem
onstrations.
Mrs. Constance Baker Motley,
Legal Defease Fund Associate
Counsel, who was chief counsel
during the long proceedings,
pointed out that Albany officials
have been busily selling the city's
swimming pool facilities to pri
vate individuals.
“We shall have to go back to
court to test the validity of these
sales. But the decision is clear
that ail public facilities sought
to be desecrated by this suit
must be open to Albany’s Negro
citizens,” she said.
Mrs. Motley, flanked by C. B.
King of .Albany and Donald L.
Hollowell of Atlanta, pointed out
that Dr. Anderson and other
leaders of the Albany Movement
had met with the Mayor and
suggested appointment of a bi-
racial committee to improve the
situation before the demonstra
tions began.
The Mayor never responded.
Arguments of NAACP Legal
turned down after three hearings
to the District Coart on ground
that tbe individual Negro plain
tiffs were not segregated against
personally while seeking use of
public facilities.
The District Court also reason
ed that tbe named Negro plain
tiffs were not representative of
Albany Negroes to general.
The U. S. Appeals Court «*'s-
agreed and ordered the lower
court to issue the injunction
sought by the NAACP Legal De
fense Fund.
Albany flared Into the nation’s
headlines during the summer of |
1962. The Albany Movement was
under the leadership of Dr. W. G.
Anderson. Dr, Martin leather
King and the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference also par
ticipated to the demonstrations.
NAACP Legal Detense Fund
attorneys stressed that Albany’s
Negro citizens sought:
• the end of. state enforced ra
cial segregation In all public
parks, libraries and city audit

• the end of city laws requiring

“Let's face it," says Travelers’
Green Book editorial director
Brett Hunter “travelling can be
an embarrassing thing sometimes
... if you’re a Negro!"
The late Victor H. Green, the

several occasions, decided that he
