After the Coleman verdict, five Lowndes Negroes led by Mrs. Gardenia White filed suit in federal court charging that County Jury Commissioner Bruce Crook, two associates, and Mrs. Kelley Coleman, clerk of the local circuit court (and Tom's cousin by marriage) had violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection and due process clauses. Last week the three-judge court in Montgomery upheld the Negroes' complaint, found Lowndes County guilty of "gross, systematic exclusion of members of the Negro race from jury duty." Though 80.7% of the county's 15,417 population is Negro, the court...
