SCLC #575 Williamsburg 234 Black voters, none on juries

Finding 575. Williamsburg SC: 234 Black voters on 1958 rolls, none had served on a jury by the 1961 study. Four counties drawing jurors from voter lists reported registered Black voters not called; Lee GA property-list jurors similarly none called. Broader: 11 of 17 counties reported no Black trial/grand jury service.

Craft: registered ≠ called ≠ served · 1958 roll figure · field-report “never” ≠ audited all-time roster · distinct from #559 Carroll jury-linked registration · Lee property-list ≠ voter-list mechanism.
