Abstract:
The nationally recognized Civil Rights Movement was represented locally by events such as the 1957 sit-in at Durham’s Royal Ice Cream Company, led by the Rev. Douglas Moore, and the 1960 Woolworth sit-in led by a quartet of AT&T students. Protests such as these planted seeds of justice that, decades later, is bearing fruit for both blacks and whites.

Abstract:
Wilson’s article reflected on the court case arising from the New York Times’ chronicling the injustice against civil rights workers by the Montgomery police and the false perjury charge against Martin Luther King, Jr. in the spring of 1960. To convince readers that this injustice was not an isolated incident, or one related exclusively to Jim Crow culture, Wilson included in examples of course cases filed in the decades since New York Times v Sullivan. More information about this topic can be found in Wilson’s inclusion of two books about this landmark case: Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and First Amendment and New York Times v Sullivan: Civil Rights, Libel Law, and the Free Press.
