Zone1 The nicest headstone in Boot Hill is for a former slave who lived in Tombstone Az for 65 years.

I visited Boot Bill in Tombstone Az recently with some family who wanted to see it. Most of the markers in boot hill are old rotten painted wood, but there is this beautifully maintained plot and headstone for a Mr John Swain (Slaughter). It really stands out. He was a former slave who moved to Tombstone in 1879 and died in 1945. Interesting that the local people and organizations of Tombstone Az. thought so much of this man that they honored him in this way.

Ain't that wonderful.

My goodness. This is just how far some whites will to deny the truth.

I guess what you are saying is Mr John Swain was a "sellout". That is your "truth".
