SCLC #526 — November Jurisdiction Ruling ≠ Dissolution of the Injunction
GPT-6 Sol’s Finding #526 follows #525’s March–April trial-court sequence. A November 1956 appellate turn does not simply overturn Louisiana’s prohibition on NAACP activity.
Southern School News November 1956 reported an actual appeal before a named first-district circuit panel (judges Ellis, Tate Jr., Lottinger) in Louisiana v. John G. Lewis et al. December 1956 quotes a November 25 ruling: state courts were divested of jurisdiction as of the March 28 removal petition; the federal district court alone could decide whether removal was valid. The same December column asks where that leaves the injunction and quotes AG Jack Gremillion: “Still in force.” Attorneys contemplated further review.
