George Treadway
Well, history has made George perhaps a little more interesting than should be. Since the OJ book was published, more details have come to light that suggest Treadway wasn't negro (in part or wholly) and that his career ran a somewhat normal course (although he did face racist taunts and slurs).

I really have enjoyed this thread, so many more characters could be discussed.
