New Booth Pic?

I like seeing the "collage" of comparison photos, as well.

Although I already posted a better quality view of the man's face early in the thread, here is a better view of him below the neck for comparison purposes.

The last paragraph of the Cleveland Leader article beggars belief as far as I'm concerned. A black man taunting a white one in a railroad car full of Confederate sympathizers? Not very likely.

I tend to agree with this point.

An interesting fact I've come upon in my preliminary research on Simon Jefferson, however, is that many of Thomas Jefferson's "mulatto" descendants were so fair-skinned that they could pass as white.

I really wish we could see a photo of Simon Jefferson!
