The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee has joined the lawsuit accusing the city of Memphis of violating the First Amendment rights of political protestors through the use of a list of names which were deemed to require police escort through City Hall, the Commercial Appeal reports. Yesterday, Memphis Police announced they would scrub 43 of the 81 names on the original list, which was made up mostly of local political activists. MPD Director Michael Rallings claims most of the protesters were included in error.
