What was the result of the Albany Movement?


At one point during the months of protest in Albany, five hundred people were either in jail or out on bond. Civil rights leaders were arrested included Dr. King and Reverend Ralph Abernathy. Before the year’s end, a biracial committee was formed to study concerns of the African American community in Albany. The bus and train stations were not de-segregated because of the Albany movement, but it did start a talk between the Black and White communities of Albany.
