FLASHBACK

Black educator George F. Porter was thrown bodily out of the Dallas County Courthouse on September 28, 1938. Porter, a member of the local NAACP, was challenging a state statute that barred African-Americans from jury duty. As a result, Thurgood Marshall, a young NAACP attorney, made his first trip to Dallas.
