Missing in Action: what happened to the men of the 364th? “The story, whispered around Centreville, Mississippi since World
War II, goes like this: Members of the 364th (Negro) Infantry
Regiment were killed at Camp Van Dorn to silence their
relentless–and sometimes violent–demands for equality in a
segregated Army. Some swear they witnessed the shoot-out or
events that led to a shoot-out or its aftermath. Some say the
casualties were many, others say just a few. Some testimony
claims to be first-hand, much is just hearsay.” In These Times [I certainly don’t know if this is true, but if you don’t think it’s plausible, that’s another story.]
