| Summary: | This article reports the reactions of both African American and white citizens to the new ordinance requiring segregation on Montgomery street cars: "As a rule no trouble was experienced and the only thing noticeable was the absence of negroes from the cars. Very few of that race used the cars, nearly all of them walking. This is their mode of attacking the law...The conductors said that the only trouble they had had was with the whites, many of whom objected to being told where they must sit. Several incidents of this kind were cited, but no arrests made, as in each case the passenger complied with the request of the conductor after some protest."
