The point of Greg Bond's post was that all the 19c players Blacks players that we know of were noted as such in the papers of the day. No mention was made of W E White being Black in any newspaper which is what lead him to make is post. Was he Black? Family history weems to say yes. But did the public know? It would seem not since no note of it was made in any paper.

I tend to lean towards Mr Bond's school of thought.
