That Reeves was also an African American  who had spent his early life as a slave in Arkansas and  Texas makes his accomplishments all the more remarkable.  Bucking the odds ("I'm sorry, we didn't keep black people's  history," a clerk at one of Oklahoma's local historical  societies answered a query), Art T.
