When they show me a document explaining that a #9 code for race means “African”, than I will be impressed.

Surely that’s not how Negro was denoted at the time?

Since the race "African" was already listed in the document there should not have been a number beside it.

I think "Negro" may have been used in the 1960s.

I haven’t read all the comments yet, so forgive if I repeat what someone else has said.

If #9 in 1961 actually meant “other non-white”

then explain how they got from “African” to #9 (other NON-white)

when Africa had many WHITE people living in it in 1961.

“African” tells nothing about race, so how would anyone like the perfectionist Ms. Lee ASSUME “non-white”?
