Someone went to the trouble to mark and record this man's grave. Now a community group has provided a new marker. An edit request wants me to separate the phrase "a black man" into first and last names. Not only is this illogical, it would cause searches and indexing to invert the phrase, which would have a disrespectful (in my opinion) comedic effect. I intend to leave the entire phrase in the surname field for that reason.
