QPQ needed and reference needs inline citing at the sentence, rather than paragraph, level. Other than that, hook is interesting and length compliant. Article is new enough (April 6 creation), NPOV, no obvious copyvio, and source (African American Review) is RS and correct. Chetsford (talk) 18:40, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chetsford, here's a QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/Carl Craig (politician), State Auditor of Mississippi, Carl C. White (1/3). tweaked referencing. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
