Judge Frank M. Johnson's courtroom was the oasis of civil rights, the executive director for the Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. Institute said.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - As civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks were on the front lines, a federal judge’s rulings helped them change the world.
“He was part of a three-judge panel that ruled the city bus segregation was unconstitutional,” said Thomas Rains, executive director for the nonprofit Frank Johnson Institute, “That was later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, which would bring us down to the Montgomery bus boycott and integrate the buses here at Montgomery.”
