That is a birth certificate, and there's no evidence it is bogus.

There is evidence that some of the information is questionable at minimum. Specifcally the date filed and the file number. Plus the "African" for father's race.

Perhaps someone just couldn't force themselves to put down "negro" even though MLK was using the term about that same time.

They couldn’t say black?
