An online exhibit at the NYPD Police Museumfeatures a short history on African Americans in the Police Department. I created a slide show by splicing segments of the exhibit (using snapz pro) into images. Note the interesting article and editorial about Wiley Overton in the Brooklyn Eagle. Note also Overton only worked 10 months before leaving the department. One can imagine the pressures that were on him.
