Luis Loy, a sixth grade student at Morgantown College Prep Academy, presents today's Natchez History Minute about Walter J. Squalls, Jr. who was born on this day, Nov. 19, 1937. Squalls was the first black law enforcement officer commissioned in Mississippi and the first African-American police officer in Natchez. In 2002, the Natchez Democrat named him as one of our Unsung Heroes for his volunteer contributions to the community.
