Nearly all the notable 'Blacks' seem to be in the United States. How strange.

GreatPoint, MarcusGarveyLives!

I also noted that of the 143 deaths in 2006 only 29 were of notable blacks!

It did not happen in America so I assume that it is not 'notable'.

No, it's his father - the first African-American to sing with the Metropolitan Opera.

Would add Lynden David Hall (passed 14 February '06) to the list too.

Brother Lynden David Hall did not join the ancestors in America so maybe it is not 'notable': http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4716060.stm

While we're at it, this probably isn't 'notable' either because our Brother did not join the ancestors in America either:
