Talk:USS Mason (DE-529)

African Americans
I replaced the U.S. CGC listed as the other U.S. Navy ship with a mostly African-American crew with the USS PC-1264 as that is correct. The U.S. CGC mentioned had only about 1/3 of her crew who were African Americans.

Plus, the WP article on African Americans has the opinion that the hyphen in the term "African-American" should only be used when it is meant as an adjective. So I corrected an instance of that. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 23:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Interesting Sidenote
The captain of the Mason, William Blackford, a white officer, was himself the great-grandson of a renowned abolitionist, Mary Berkeley Minor Blackford. Irish Melkite (talk) 05:34, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
