Side-note - he was featured on "Finding your Roots", but I did not use that as a reference. (TBH, I don't remember if I saw that episode).
Samuel Jackson's profile already exists, but is unlisted. Do you want to private message me to see if we can coordinate connecting him to his family? However, I have a feeling we may run into some duplicates once he gets opened. Emma
I haven't known how to categorize these individuals so that teams that would be interested in them would find them, so I'm reaching out here to let you know that they're there and could use appropriate categorization.

I also did some work on Buffalo Soldiers by creating profiles for those that were Medal of Honor recipients. I do not believe there are any significant numbers of profiles for USCT. That would be another important sub-project.
