interesting, and thanks for it. but why would you change "Negro" in a speech given in the 60s? You present it in historical terms and perspective, then proceed to Bowdlerize the text--or, as we say nowadays, politically correct it. Otherwise.

why would you change "Negro" in a speech given in the 60s?Because Fuller's use of the term "Negro" is sufficiently foreign to my ear, and annoying, as to significantly distract from the actual message. Therefore, for the sake of communication.
