African American[edit]

The article used the term African American in the first sentance, I dont think that is the best term here. It would sugget other people of african decent did solo circumnavigations before him and Teddy was simply the first american black man to do this. I know people get touch with terminology and PC here, I changed it to "african decent" but I am not too picky someone else changing it to something more prefered, I just dont think "american" should be in it when refering to his actual accomplishment, big difference between first in the world and first american.
