Description
CORE-lator
June 1962
The Historic New Orleans Collection, 2016.0090.2
The lead story in this issue of CORE-lator addresses the “Louisiana Lunacy,” a term coined in a May 1962 New York Post editorial discussing Louisiana authorities’ tactic of charging civil rights protestors with criminal anarchy as a means of suppressing their protests. Oretha Castle Haley was charged with criminal anarchy for participating in a 1960 sit-in, and by 1963 she was a plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that successfully overturned the use of criminal anarchy statutes to suppress civil rights protestors.
