    Jim Crow at Play: Race, Manliness, and the Color Line in American Sports, 1876-1916, a dissertation by Gregory Bond at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, includes some info on Cyrus Spottswood Shippen. The same year this photo was taken he was the second African-American to compete in the US Open, alongside his brother John who had been the first (in just the second US Open, in 1896). According to Bond, Cyrus Shippen went on to be "a long-time teacher at Washington, DC's famed Dunbar High School where he started a golf team". (Bond's discussion of the Shippens and the color line in the USGA is mostly on pp. 217-220.) Cyrus is also discussed a bit in this interview with Hanno Shippen Smith, grandson of John Shippen (which I think would make him grand-nephew of Cyrus?).

    I cried when I saw this photo. Here I am, a Barnard girl who graduated 97 years after this picture was taken on the same spot.
