Why the Colored Men Didn't March
A St Louis correction from May 1903 explains why a Negro Knights Pythias contingent did not form the planned division in the dedicatory parade. Lack of a marching band, late music, and timing prevented 500 uniformed men led by Brigadier General KR Carter from parading, contrary to public belief. The writer praises Col Spencer and aides and seeks to set the record straight.
