“I would think in 61 they still used NEGRO. African is a PC thing and another dead give away.”

I agree, but he is mixed, or mulato.
It was quite sometime past the early sixties that the term
African American was coined, but I still refuse to use it.

The Obots CLAIM that one could specify whatever they wanted
to be listed as race, but I think that is BS.
The Obots, of course, can never give an excuse for Bozo’s refusal to release a REAL birth certificate.

Actually, the term used in the 60s was Afro-American, not African American. And Afro American wasn’t used until the late 60s after the assassination of MLK. It coincided with the beginning of the Black Power movement.
