In March of 2024, Boston University Today, which serves a primary source for the entry on Ida E Lewis, retract4ed the statement that she was the first woman editor of the NAACP's The Crisis Magazine. That statement is an error which has now been corrected. Denise Crittendon became the first woman editor The Crisis Magazine in 1994, four years prior to Ida E. Lewis. 2600:8801:2A02:3000:5874:E544:5DEF:3AB9 (talk) 23:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
