No, the elephant man was a severely deformed Englishman by the name of John or Joseph Merrick...

In the early 1900s, the NYTimes did a story on the local zoo and the black man that was part of the exhibit. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CC0QFjAFahUKEwjLkvvspoTJAhXHKh4KHZm3Dq8&url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota_Benga&usg=AFQjCNERfxzV1dvK2xlUDSc0_BtsNbTamg&sig2=cR8vSTT0QQ0n3-BWpkU3pg

This poor, unfortunate human being was exhibited regardless of deformity...so sad and deplorable...

In 1906, the Bronx Zoo Put a Black Man on Display in the Monkey House

In 1906 we certainly has our collective shit together enough to have seen this as wrong. But, someone was willing to pay $00.01 to see him.

P.T. Barnum was so correct or, mayhap David Hannum...there is a sucker born every minute!..."There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase most likely spoken by David Hannum, in criticism of both P. T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid 19th century, and his customers. The phrase is often credited to Barnum himself. It means "Many people are gullible, and we can expect this to continue."
