<P> The City suspended bus service for several weeks on account of the violence . According to legal historian Randall Kennedy, "When the violence subsided and service was restored, many black Montgomerians enjoyed their newly recognized right only abstractly...In practically every other setting, Montgomery remained overwhelmingly segregated ..." On January 23, a group of Klansmen (who would later be charged for the bombings) lynched a black man, Willie Edwards, on the pretext that he was dating a white woman . </P> <P> The City's elite moved to strengthen segregation in other areas, and in March 1957 passed an ordinance making it "unlawful for white and colored persons to play together, or, in company with each other...in any game of cards, dice, dominoes, checkers, pool, billiards, softball, basketball, baseball, football, golf, track, and at swimming pools, beaches, lakes or ponds or any other game or games or athletic contests, either indoors or outdoors ." </P> <P> Later in the year, Montgomery police charged seven Klansmen with the bombings, but all of the defendants were acquitted . About the same time, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled against Martin Luther King's appeal of his "illegal boycott" conviction . Rosa Parks left Montgomery due to death threats and employment blacklisting . According to Charles Silberman, "by 1963, most Negroes in Montgomery had returned to the old custom of riding in the back of the bus ." </P> <Ul> <Li> Ralph Abernathy </Li> <Li> Hugo Black </Li> <Li> James F.
