SCLC Archive #591: Post-office four vs five — scope change, not contradiction

The 1961 Commission’s detailed chapter counts four no-Black-employee post offices among 17 lower-voting counties (p.182); the findings summary counts five across all 21 (p.196). Resolution: Liberty, GA is the separately named fifth among the four higher-voting counties (p.183). Four + Liberty = five. Reporting “four of 21” discards Liberty; “five of 17” moves Liberty into the wrong group. The four lower-voting counties are not named — no guessing. Printed pp.182–183/196, PDF leaves 101/108.
Craft: scope change ≠ contradiction · four lower unnamed · Liberty only named fifth · carriers/janitors ≠ full roster · reconciles report’s own statements not independent payrolls · distinct from #583 pattern finding.
