Biography

C. O. Chinn supported voter registration and the Canton boycott. He was jailed during the January 1964 crackdown.

Payne describes Chinn’s support for the Canton movement and reports that he lost most of his property and served a term on the chain gang because of his movement involvement. This retrospective passage supplies no individual date or duration. It is not assigned to his already recorded January 1964 case or treated as a separately dated new detention.
