SABR and Baseball-Reference use "Nig Clarke" (and Nig Cuppy and others), etc.
Note also the term "Negro" Leagues - is still always used for historical reasons. Also there is a Negro League Museum in KC, and a Negro League committee within SABR. These have not been changed to "African American" League.
This all is very important as it constantly reminds us about the way things were. This usage will not likely be changed.
