minus-squareblahsay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoLooks like a mixed unit to my eye.
minus-squarePugJesus@kbin.socialOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoThe unit had white officers. I’m guessing that’s who the top guy is. Bottom guy could be mixed race.
minus-squareblahsay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoTo be completely honest I’d put money on most of the unit being white with just a few African Americans. It’d make sense in Wyoming at that time too. How sure are you that it was segregated?
