Biography
Kay Martin, identified as national chairman of Youth Against War and Fascism, was imprisoned for supporting American Servicemen’s Union organizing at Fort Sill in 1967. A July 8, 1969 statement printed in The Black Panther reports that he was jailed for six months in Oklahoma on a criminal-trespass charge, serving time at El Reno Federal Correctional Institution and later at New York’s West Street Jail after his appeal was denied. This is an attributed contemporary account; it does not supply exact admission or release dates or a separate duration for the later New York confinement.
