KING SELMA, Ala. -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is confronted by a white segregationist outside the Dallas County Court House in Selma, Ala. The man later punched and kicked the noted Negro integration leader as he registered at a previously segregated hotel. The attacker was James Robinson, 26, of Birmingham, Ala., a member of the segregationist National States Rights Party. Police quickly seized Mr. Robinson and charged him with assault and disturbing the peace. Dr. King said later he was not hurt by the attack, suffering only a headache. The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner and leading advocate of the non-violent movement against discrimination was in Selma to assist a voter registration drive.
