Scope and content
On October 20, 1942, a quintet of African American singers from Fort Lewis provided the entertainment at the War Chest report luncheon. The men harmonized on spirituals. The musical group was composed of, in no particular order, Pvt. Chester Crowell, Pfc. Henry Graham, Pvt. Scott Blackshear, Pvt. Matthew Harris and Pfc. Theodore Scott. We have been unable to determine the significance of their identical hand gestures and would appreciate any information available from our readers. (TNT 10/20/1942, pg. 1- story only)
