Trying to do some research on a Allied Leisure Rock On pin for a pinball museum. Does anyone know if this was the first pin to feature all black characters on the artwork? Released in 1975.

I wouldn’t include Minstrel Man here, the characters in these shows were predominantly caucasian in blackface makeup.
