- Description:
- In this transcript of an oral history interview conducted circa 1980 by Eugene Pfaff with Herman G. Enochs, Enochs describes the effects of mass arrests in spring 1963 on the local judicial system. He discusses efforts to speed the judicial process, especially given the overcrowding at the polio hospital which served as a prison. He also notes tactics that hampered the process, including defendants' refusal to abstain from further protests until their cases were heard. The role of attorneys Clarence Malone, Floyd McKissick, Major High, and Kenneth Lee, who represented the arrested demonstrators, is also discussed.
