Negro's persistence to accompany Byrd on polar quest
A 20 year old Los Angeles youth, Robert White Lanier, aims to be the first Black man at the South Pole. He recounted surviving hunger and fumes to impress Commander Byrd, who would sign him on if he proved himself. After facing unfounded accusations, Lanier's path meandered from Panama to New York, then to San Francisco, and finally to New Zealand aboard the Golden State. He later proposed bi weekly freight service and coastal improvements to Geraldton, arguing it would boost local employment and traffic, with cost benefits over current Midland routes.
