Born into slavery in Thomasville, Georgia, on March 21, 1856, Henry Ossian Flipper was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1873. Over the next four years he overcame harassment, isolation, and insults to become West Point’s first African American graduate and the first African American commissioned officer in the regular U.S. Army.

This photo is of my great uncle Roy Cox in his WWI uniform. I’m guessing it dates somewhere between 1917 and 1918. Though this was probably taken at a military base (perhaps Georgia?), he lived his entire life in Greenville, SC.
