LEGAL DEFENSE FUND TO 
DEFEND ALABAMA NARCHERS April 30, 1963 

NEW YORK -- Mrs. Constance Baker Motley, Associate Counsel of 

the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, announced today that the Fund has 

been requested by members of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating 

Committee who will resume William Moore's march through Alabama 

to defend them if they are prevented from completing the march 

because of arrest or other forms of interference. 

The march is expected to begin tomorrow from Chattanooga, 

Tenn. The Fund has agreed to take whatever legal action may be 

required to protect the constitutional rights of the marchers.
