Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 12, 1906 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Dictionary of African Biography; BnF authorities; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; Babelio; IdRef) or December 11, 1906 (Integrated Authority File).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
