1920's Integrated Team Photo ID Help Needed
Just purchased this photo and was hoping someone could help me with some questions I have about it.
The photo has what looks like a date on the front which seems to say 1928. Does the equipment in the photo corroborate this date? Does the one African American gentleman look familiar to anyone? The only info that I have is that the photo came from a box that had Rutgers University items in it. Sorry about the photo quality. The photo is behind glass. Thanks for any help. Tom C |

If you have not already compared him to Paul Robeson, you should, I am very bad at comparisons.

Tom - equipment appears consistent with 1928. Funny thing is I was thinking Rutgers when I saw the "R", before I even read your post.

The "Baisley" or "Baisleys" stamp above the date should be a clue.
Here's something, although of course we can't say for certain there's a connection: http://www.newstimes.com/local/artic...in-2190850.php There's a stamp/signature on one photo there (third thumbnail from the left) which is sorta kinda maybe somewhat similar to that on your photo, although how much that might have changed in fifteen or twenty years is open to conjecture...

If Rutgers is near your neck of the woods, it might be worth it to go there and look in the old yearbooks for that picture.
