There is a mention in Wolfe’s book of Ed Dwight.
Sadly, if you try to google it the only reference seems to be on a racist tumblr that I won’t link to. I should dig my copy of that book out.
Found it yesterday while I was looking into the comments posted last night that have now been deleted.
Ahem, open your eyes, plz.
