This is a picture of Cortez W. Peters, Jr., as stated. However, the content about winning the World's Fastest Typer title in 1925 relates to his father (also a typist) Cortez W. Peters, Sr.
Thank you for your comment. That information has now been incorporated into the record.
The picture you have listed is not Cortez W. Peters, Sr. but Cortez W. Peters, Jr. You may ask, how do I know? I know because I am Cortez W. Peters, Sr.'sdaughter and Jr.'s sister.

I was a 20 year old young man from Norfolk, Virginia visiting my sister Sylvia & her husband, James, who was attending Howard University, when she informed me of a filing job at her employer, the DC Court of General Sessions, Now DC Superior Court. I got the job & the Court had an affiliation with Cortez Peters,Jr. via the U.S.Department of Agriculture. I attended a typing course with Mr. Peter’s & his typing skills were phenomenal. He was a serious teacher when it came to typing, yet very kind & humorous! I later retired as a deputy commissioner & will never forget that Mr. Peter’s ensured that I could at least type the required 40 words a minute, without error.
