Has anyone ever satisfactorily explained the ‘African’ designation in the ‘race’ category? Wdn’t it (back in ‘61) more likely have been Negro? ‘African’ isn’t a race.

I can guarantee you that the designation on US birth certificates of the time, was "Negro". It's printed on my, and my six siblings birth certificates - the last one being produced in 1963.
