...In 1961, that would’ve been listed as “Negro” or “Negroid”...."

Take the next step. Look at the pencil numbers. Beside African you will see the number 9. Nine.

The number nine in that context denotes RACE NOT STATED.

The kenyan student would NOT have allowed himself to be categorized as NEGRO. He was an AFRICAN. Negro was a hated term by the people native to Africa.

Do you think he would have self-reported himself as African like the fogbow members contend?
