The thing about tropes in movies and literature is that they are often identified and become part of the legend of a work without the intent of the autor.
Whether intended by Romero or not, according to the documentary A Century of Black Cinema (and other related print works) the film had a profound impact on many African American viewers of the time .. because of the lead, because of the story, etc.
