If he came from Jamaica, is he still considered an African-American? -- Mo-Al 02:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
This article indicates he was the third African-American to graduate from an American college - the 'Alumni of Bowdoin College' says the second - which is correct?? -- Dumarest 22:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
From the List of Bowdoin College people [John Brown Russwurm 1826, second black college graduate in the United States; founder of Freedom's Journal, America's first black newspaper (1827); governor of Maryland County in Liberia (1836-41)] -- Dumarest 11:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Then I would guess I or you ought to edit the List of Bowdoin College people article to correct the fault. -- Dumarest 17:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
The text indicates he encouraged immigration "to" Maryland. That can't really be correct - he was the governor of the Maryland section of Liberia, so it would be immigration to that section, not simply Maryland - unless the meaning should be "from" Maryland. -- Dumarest 12:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
While doing field research in Harper, Maryland County in 1990, I managed to locate J. B. Russwurm's grave in an overgrown area which I had had cleared by local help. There is no statue of him there as the article states, but a monument; an obolisk (about 6 feet high) on a square base, with some fascinating notations on it.

I wonder what is the usefulness of the term "mixed race," particularly when used with historical figures who called themselves Black? The phrase "mixed race" contains in itself the implication of pure races. But you must question if there is someone who is not mixed. Self-designated terms like Black, African American, Latino, Asian American, etc., convey political (not in the sense of political parties) self-representations. I suggest we talk about it and consider what are the most common self-designated terms. Historiador ( talk) 05:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
