The indictment of a hundred or more Negroes in Montgomery for leading a peaceful mass protest -movement against segregated city buses places not them but the American nation on trial. A community which duly a few years ago, like most Negro communities in the South, gave the appearance of being inert and apathetic, without ,structure or form, has, without any outside help or assistance, organized itself into a disciplined, articulate, superbly confident community. Furthermore, Negroes of Montgomery are not asserting a narrow legal principle; they are proclaiming to the world their insistence on being regarded as members of the human race. The movement they have organized is peaceful.
