Summary:A program hosted by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee earlier this month revisited that case, which began before but ended after King's assassination. According to a transcript, available on the court's website (https://www.tnwd.uscourts.gov/), public safety director Frank C. Hollomon testified that a second march posed "a clear and present danger," threatening the entire city, the marchers, and even King himself. With Mr. Halls permission, this article is being reprintedfor NALA's Facts & Findings, as it gives an insight into the court's perspective as it recalls Martin Luther King, Jrs last legal battle in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee literally hours prior to his assignation in Memphis, TN.
