Ancestors?

[edit]

Is there any record indicating that the three brothers from Eulala are related to Reggie? The article does not indicate what the relationship would have been. The book that serves as the source of the Eulala story does not mention Reggie. There is also no citation for the claim that the Forte who emigrated to Liberia with his family is an ancestor. In fact, this seems implausible, as (according to the story) they did well enough to establish a thriving town, so how likely is it that some of his progeny came back to America? Finally, I can't find any reliable source for the statement that one of the victims of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was Reggie's maternal step-grandmother. Is this all original research?  --Lambiam 14:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
