Charles Gittens, 1st black Secret Service agent, dies
#3
http://www.sunherald.com/2011/08/11/3343...agent.html


Though Gittens told friends he never felt discrimination from other
agents or supervisors, he still faced it on the job. While guarding
President Lyndon B. Johnson on a trip to Dallas, he and other agents
entered a restaurant where he was initially refused service because he
was black, according to the Ebony story.
