Abstract

The article highlights Frank Minis Johnson, the U.S. district judge for Alabama's 23 southeastern counties. It discusses the contributions he made during his 11 years of interpreting and enforcing the U.S. Constitution. Court rulings that Johnson had a part in are also mentioned, and include applying the school-desegregation ruling to the Montgomery bus system, abolishing the Alabama poll tax, and convicting a member of the Ku Klux Klan of murdering Viola Liuzzo as she was on her way back to Montgomery from Selma.
