Hicks v. Knight was a groundbreaking federal suit filed by Collins, Douglas and Elie on behalf of Robert Hicks and 11 other civil rights activists to compel Bogalusa law enforcement to protect the activists and cease its illegal campaign of “assaults, beatings and physical abuse,” “failure to protect prisoners in custody,” “aiding and abetting the white mobs,” and “unequal and discriminatory application of the law to Negroes.” The case files contain remarkably detailed depositions from activists describing incidents of police abuse; depositions from police officers; Bogalusa Police arrest reports and booking records; a list of phone calls activists made from jail, including who they called and what they asked for (“called home and stated he did not want to get out of jail but needed sweater and food”); internal police memoranda; court transcripts; and the 1965 Bogalusa Police manual.
