***** Hi, I’m his niece, daughter of Charles Grant, his brother. In his biography, I noticed someone described his race as “Negro”. I don’t know who wrote this or when, but I’d appreciate if it was removed and changed to Black or African American. It’s upsetting for me to be researching him decades later just for him still be referred to as a “negro”, even with all of the negative connotations it’s amassed over the decades, making it a distasteful choice of words. I’d really appreciate it if it was changed. Also, where’d you find this picture? I have a better photo of him alone. Please contact me immediately after the biography has been changed and I will send the photo.
