Excerpt from article: "A new book on the Rangers, 'Cult of Glory,' offered chilling details about dark chapters of the Rangers' history. The book by former Pulitzer Prize finalist Doug J. Swanson, a longtime reporter for The Dallas Morning News who is now on the University of Pittsburgh faculty, says the statue depicts Capt. Jay Banks. The captain was in charge of a Ranger contingent dispatched in 1957 by then-Gov. Allan Shivers to keep black students from enrolling in Mansfield's high school and a Texarkana community college despite court rulings that should have prevented Shivers from doing so."

Hmmm ... 1957 ... anyone care to offer an opinion on the political affiliation of then-Governor Allan Shivers???
