Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 29, 1923 (Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; SNAC; Who's Who in African Literature; BnF authorities) or December 23, 1933 (blackpast.org).
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.
