Personal details
Political party Republican

James Ward Porter was elected a state representative in Georgia during the Reconstruction era, representing Chatham County. Before becoming a representative he was the owner of a tailor's shop in Savannah. This was unusual, as the laws in Georgia at the time largely prohibited Black people from owning property. [1] He and other African Americans were expelled from the legislature. [2] [3]
