The mob, fired by a speech by Asa E. Carter, Birmingham, Ala., a White Citizens Council leader, stoned and bounced at least 6 autos bearing Negroes. The tire on this car was also flattened. The Clinton High School was integrated this week and has been the scene of minor violence. The driver of this car ran to police. (AP Wirephoto)"
