Biography

Porter is named in the June22 Chicago report among arrested Vincennes Hotel anti-segregation protesters who attended the later Pythian Temple meeting. The report says the protesters were bailed at $1,000 each. Given name unprinted; no link to unrelated existing Porters assumed. The collective count of six conflicts with seven named arrested people, so no unsupported individual arrest day or complete duration is inferred.
