You may be right in saying that Louis et al. were there first blacks to have been seen by Fairfielders, and you are definitely right about the popularity that blacks might have enjoyed at the high school. My African American grandson was the only black student at the high school when he was there, and he had to fight off the girls. He was also the star athlete.
Unfortunately, his popularity worried some white moms enough to ruin his career as an athlete, and the criminal justice system in town went right along with them. As for the comment about the 9+ inches, that's a pretty telling remark, the big smile notwithstanding. Reminds me of one of my profs in grad school at the U of I who asked me at a party with regard to my black husband, "Wasn't one of us good enough for you?"
