Does anyone reading this know about Johnny Gray's later life? I'm clicking the internet and not finding anything yet...

Page 23 here has an application from a person whose age, name, and place of living kinda matches, so maybe it was him

If that was him then maybe this record is about him, too. I don't know if Ancient Faces is crowd sourced or gets information from archives, but it reports death on July 18, 2001

I appreciate the research, thank you. The Little Rock school board doc is intriguing, whether it's him or not.

~~From other comments and the weirdness of these pictures. I'm guessing this is made up by AI.~~

~~Yeah I can't even find this on the UPI website.~~

NVM, the UPI website has a shitty AI for their search and it sucks. Using DDG I was able to find the photo on their site.
