  I've been going through the Chicago Tribune in my "gyro" search.

_Black Talk_
Presenting Mrs. Hermese Roberts, a together school principal whose boss glossary of idioms may improve communication between the gray boys and brothers.

   RHHDAS has 1980.
   From the CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAGAZINE, 2 August 1970, pg. 44, col. 2:

   Well, that's another problem Indians have.  A lot of them don't know who they are or want to be.  Some people tell them to be white because that's success.  Other people tell them to be Indian because that's strength.  Many have solved the problem by becoming what militant Indians call "apples," red outside and white inside.  Tonto was an "apple."  "Apples" couldn't care less about the antics on Alcatraz.  "Apples" also usually have good jobs.
