I love this, Darius. Posted one of the scattered newspaper ads that ran for this elusive group in a note since it doesn't look like comments permit pictures. Sorry for the link.

I don’t know whether you’d be interested, but my Substack, “Mixed Feelings,” presents various issues from the perspective of a mixed-race person. I also am posting a bio daily about one of my family members in Notes for Black History Month. Today’s is about mid-century composer, arranger, conductor and producer Belford “Sinky” Hendricks. If you read it and like it, please restack and subscribe.

Fascinating read! Darius, you completely missed your calling, if you were a detective you could charge clients 1M per case.
