SEGREGATION CASE RESET FOR MARCH 18
The trial of a 15-year old Negro girl who was charged with violating
segregation laws by refusing to yield her seat to a white person
on a City Lines bus has been rescheduled for March 18. It originally
had been set for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.
A juvenile court hearing for Claudette Colvin, charged with assault
and battery, disorderly conduct and violating the city segregation
law was postponed due to the death of the sister of Juvenile Court
Judge Wiley Hill.
The girl was allegedly drug kicking and clawing from a city bus
last week after bus driver Robert W. Cleere reported to police she
had refused to move to the Negro section of his bus.
Arresting officer said the girl kicked and scratched them when
they forcibly removed her from the bus.
