Biography
Robert Lower was detained during the June 1965 voting-rights demonstrations in Jackson, Mississippi.
The newsletter identifies him as a participant from Rivers Camp, Manitoba, and Toronto, arrested on the weekend following June 24 during the Jackson voting-rights demonstrations. Its editor only believed that he had been released; this does not establish a discharge date. Arrest is recorded at month precision, and admission, release and actual duration remain unknown.
