U. S. Grant Prince III was a civil-rights organizer whom the April 1960 CORE-Lator identified as a newly hired field secretary. The newsletter reports that he served eight days on a chain gang in Mullins, South Carolina, in 1946 because of a lunch-counter incident.
The April 1960 CORE-Lator identifies U. S. Grant Prince III as a newly hired CORE field secretary and Atlanta graduate student. It retrospectively reports that in 1946 he served eight days on a chain gang in Mullins, South Carolina, because of a lunch-counter incident. This is the newsletter’s explicit account of completed service, not an eight-day sentence inferred to have been served. The exact admission and release dates, statutory charge, judge and named institution remain unknown. The 1946 custody is separate from his 1960 organizing role.
