Sims v. Frink (1962) Required the state of Alabama to reapportion state legislative districts to adhere to the 'one man, one vote' principle as stipulated in its 1901 constitution. The state districts had not been reapportioned since that date, although such reapportionment was supposed to take place following every decennial census. This had resulted in marked under-representation of urban citizens, as demographic changes had created density of population in urbanized cities and areas Lee v. Macon County Board of Ed. (1963) Mandated, in Alabama, the first statewide desegregation of public schools. Williams v. Wallace (1965) Ordered Gov. George Wallace in March 1965 to permit the Selma to Montgomery march to take place, which was organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), DCVL and SNCC. White v. Crook (1966) Ruled that the state of Alabama must permit both male and female Blacks to serve on juries; they were qualified after regaining the ability to register and vote. The case was brought as a class action suit on behalf of black residents on Lowndes County, Alabama; other class members joined so that the decision applied to the state. It was "one of the first civil actions brought to remedy systematic exclusion of Negroes from jury service generally." United States v. Alabama (1966) Declared the Alabama poll tax unconstitutional. Weeks v. Southern Bell (1969) Ruled that women had a statutory right to choose, for themselves, whether to work in physically demanding jobs that were historically performed by men. Smith v. YMCA of Montgomery (1970) Ordered the desegregation of the Montgomery chapter of the YMCA. Wyatt v. Stickney (1971) Established a right to treatment for people with mental illness who have been involuntarily committed. NAACP v. Dothard (1974) Required the state of Alabama to continue hiring (as ordered by the court in 1972) to overcome decades of racial discrimination in the Dept. of Public Safety, wherein the department should hire 50% blacks in state trooper and support positions until racial parity of 25% representation was achieved. Garcia-Mir v. Meese (1986) Upheld that existing U.S. law superseded customary international law. In popular culture Johnson is played by Martin Sheen in the 2014 film Selma.
