Odd, how I’ve never met anyone named, or willing to use the name ‘Kunta’. They would 40+ years old now. Where did they all go?....................

They were born in KC... Every month the medical records secretary would prepare a batch of birth certificates to be sent to Jeff City and we would guess the pronunciation based on spelling. Kunta was an easy one... I n he ensuing years, I am sure people changed their names to reflect newer heroes. In fact, social work records would discuss people and say “client LeVon (a/k/a Billy Joe, Sammy, Shaque)” as the welfare recipients would change their names with each new agent without benefit of court documents. It was a mess and easily created deeper layers of fraud. A friend of mine almost closed an estate not knowing who the main recipient was until she found out the guy changed his name after getting out of prison and his nuclear family did not even know his legal name. People are going to have a name heyday once those 70’s census records are made public.
