and to reinforce in African-Americans a sense of "belonging" beyond their slave history.

Hamilton (who is one of my heroes BTW) was often referred to as a mulatto. I'm surprised this author doesn't mention that. I can see the benefit to the black community, but I'm squeamish about digging up long-dead founding fathers. (Whose portraits notoriously did not resemble their likenesses.)

No pun intended, but such a fad could create many cans of worms.
