I like your ideas about removing misidentifying text but suggest adding "Unidentified black man fighting klan member circa 1960s or '70s." It's would be great if someone could date the photograph more professionally and then we'd have a better date to add. The more detail, the better! Also, if someone could to a reverse image search, this may yield more clues about the photos origin and dissemination.
