- C.E. Artis — “Years of experience in both the U.S. postal service and the state department”? This bears additional research. [Sidenote: C.E. Artis was nearly 50 years old when this article was published, and the photograph used was taken much earlier in his life. As photos of this remarkable businessman are rare, and as he is my kinsman, it’s nice to see what he looked like in early adulthood.]
- Dr. G.K. Butterfield — Though the founding date of Wilson’s N.A.A.C.P. is often cited as the late 1940s, this article makes clear that it was in operation as early as 1933, then famed national secretary Walter F. White spoke in Wilson.
