Yes, there were Black inmates at Alcatraz during its operation as a federal prison from 1934 to 1963. While the majority of prisoners were white, Alcatraz housed a diverse population, including African Americans, due to its status as a federal institution. Notable Black inmates included figures like Robert Stroud, famously known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz." The prison's demographic reflected broader societal trends, although racial disparities and segregation were prevalent in the U.S. during that era.
