One of the People: His Own Story is an autobiographical account written by Burton B. Porter. In this book, Porter narrates his life story, from his early childhood to his professional career. Born in 1924, Porter grew up in a small town in Oklahoma during the Great Depression. Despite facing financial hardships, he was able to attend college and later joined the military during World War II. After the war, Porter pursued a career in law and became a prominent civil rights attorney in the United States. He worked on several high-profile cases, including the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case that desegregated public schools. Throughout his life, Porter remained committed to fighting for justice and equality, and his memoir reflects his passion for social justice.One of the People is a compelling and insightful read that offers a unique perspective on the civil rights movement in America. Porter's personal story provides a vivid picture of the challenges faced by African Americans during the mid-twentieth century and the progress that has been made since then. His memoir is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of fighting for what is right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
