Information about Thomas J. Sellers, who started the African-American newspaper, The Charlottesville Reflector, can be found here. More research is needed to determine the possible relation between the infant photographed below and the founder of the paper, Thomas J.

Additional information about Thomas Sellers will be added as it is researched.
