| Summary: | This article from the Birmingham News discusses the extent of the order issued by U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson, which permitted and protected the Selma to Montgomery March: "The order.stops short of approving plans for a demonstration on the capitol steps, and for sending a delegation in to the state building to seek audience with Gov. George C. Wallace." The marchers will have to obtain separate permission for these activities: "In dealing with recent civil rights demonstrations, the City of Montgomery has consistently granted permits when notified in advance, and can be expected to allow a mass meeting in front of the capitol Thursday. However, unless state officials change their policy, demonstrators will be barred from the capitol grounds."
