6. The Southern states began to move, too. Alabama
outlawed the wearing of masks in public; Texas
adopted an anti-lynch bill; Virginia will submit
its poll-tax to a constitutional convention;
Tennessee whittled away at its poll-tax by
introducing numerous exemptions.
In addition to these measures that passed, dozens of others
were introduced, and will be kept alive, thus showing the kind of
awakened interest by the states which was one of the primary
recommendations of the President's Civil Rights Committee. (Twenty-
four different states had under consideration from one to nine
FEPC bills.)
7. The Courts:
For many years the bulwark in the legal defense
of civil rights has been the Supreme Court of the United States.
It is no less true today, but more and more, the lower Federal courts
and state courts are recognizing the principles of law established
by the Supreme Court decisions of the last few years. Perhaps the
two most significant lower court decisions recently were those
affecting the citizenship of Japanese-Americans who renounced their
U. S. Citizenship under duress while confined to Tule Lake Relocation
Center. Judge William Denman of the Ninth Federal Court of Appeals
in San Francisco recently ordered the restoration of citizenship of
three evacuees who had given up their citizenship because they feared
to return home from Tule Lake. This decision affects the citizenship
of 5,000 other American-born Japanese. Other significant court decisions
affecting the rights of Japanese-Americans are:
