Samuel George "Sammy" Davis, Jr. was born in New York City, New York to Elvera Sanchez and Sammy Davis, Sr. His mother was of Cuban descent and his father was of African-American descent. Throughout his lifetime, Sammy Davis claimed his mother was of Puerto Rican descent to avert possible negative reprecussions to his record sales during a time of anti-Cuban sentiment. However, in his 2003 biography In Black and White, author Wil Haygood wrote that Davis, Jr.'s mother was born in New York City to Cuban American parents.
