Lead appears incorrect[edit]

The lead does not appear supported by the discussion below - nothing is said about the state fearing for the safety of members of the NAACP. Will change.--Parkwells (talk) 00:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Case timeline is wrong[edit]

If the case was brought by Alabama in 1956 and the Supreme Court decided the case in 1958, it's impossible for the Alabama court system to have balked for 5 years. One of these numbers, perhaps more, must be wrong. Either the Alabama courts had balked for 2 years, the first action was earlier or the final decision was later. So which is it? TMLutas (talk) 00:53, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

could use a section on the aftermath. alabama did not promptly comply, but resisted the court's holding for several more years. ~~ gtbear@gmail.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.248.134.91 (talk) 22:34, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Title might be incorrect[edit]

All references I can find to the case refer to it is NAACP v. Patterson; not v. Alabama. Justia Oyez — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unfgreen (talk • contribs) 01:08, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

full title is NAACP v Alabama ex rel. Patterson, but it's more commonly shortened to just NAACP v Alabama. ~~gtbear@gmail.com 2019
