Junius

Junius Bouton Bird (1907–1982) was an American archaeologist who was appointed curator of South American Archaeology at the American Museum of Natural History in 1934. His contributions to the study of ecology, climate, and pre-Columbian archaeology earned him several awards including: The Viking Fund Medal for Archaeology (1956) and The Order of "El sol de Peru" (1974). With his excavations e.g. at Fell Cave in the late 1930s Bird was one of the pioneers of Patagonian archaeology and contributed to the investigation of the earliest settlement of the Americas. His wife, Margaret McKelvy Bird, accompanied him on a number of expeditions and was a close co-worker throughout their life together. He is possibly the inspiration for the character Indiana Jones.

Junius Griffin (1929 – 2005) was an African American Civil Rights activist working as the President of the Beverly-Hills Hollywood chapter of the NAACP, who is best known for his work alongside Martin Luther King Jr. As well as for coining the term “Blaxploitation” in regard to the African American film industry of the 1970s.
