Example in archives of Mel Minitor Jr. involvement https://web.archive.org/web/20101229162151/https://calvaryroad.net/
I scrolled through several decades worth mentions of this family in Aiken Standard Newspaper archives. Absolutely nothing backs up or even hints at Mel's heritage claims.
Article on Mel Minitor Jr's recording studio business endeavors in Aiken County Register, January 11, 1984 identifies him as a "son of Baptist minister". He was 31 years old at the time. The article is extensive. He's a white boy.
Also:
--- Quote ---Minitor did the sound last month for Strom Thurmond's huge Christmas part near Columbia and has a long connection with the senator.

Of course always verify what we post here.
I'll be writing up another police booking listed in Aiken Standard. Innocent until proven guilty and I might not be able to find the disposition.
Sandy S:
I'm accessing the Aiken Standard newspaper of Aiken N.C. through Newspaper Archive via my public library online. So I don't have a way to provide links.
In 1989 police log he is listed as arrested for forged check. Then in 1993 under Police Bookings for "Melvin Martin Minitor, 40 - fraudulent check, distributing obscene material to minors, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute". This in Aiken Standard February 20, 1993 Page 9.
The public records I've accessed to add to this thread include Family Search, Find a Grave, SC court records, Aiken Standard newspaper via Newspaper Archive, general googling, and the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive.

He wears a dead badger on his head, along with turkey feathers. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Aywa7zlWG6c
