editThis article states that Jesse E. Moorland was African American, but the picture is of a Caucasian man. This seems to be a contradiction.

- Moorland is probably a mulatto or quadroon, meaning his heritage is of European and African ancestors. He may have fair skin and "good" hair, but he was considered "black/negro". You can even see from his biography that nothing about him was caucasian—he attend Howard University, a black college, and was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha a black fraternity, which only became interracial in 1945, 6 year after Moorland's death. You can view his full bio on African American Registry. Please remove contradiction tag once you are satisfied or reply back.
- Indeed. All the photographs that I have been able to locate look similar, yet every source I've found lists him as an African American. cbustapeck 19:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- This demonstrates why the racial laws were so peculiar before and after the end of slavery, but what was most important was the culture within which a person grew up and identified with. His life and work deserve expansion and more sources.--Parkwells (talk) 15:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
