ALT4: ... that in the 1990s, black performers shunned New York City's Apollo Theater because larger theaters were not segregated? Source: Span, Paula (May 28, 1998). "Worn Velvet And Fractured Finances At the Apollo; Theater Repairs Await Outcome of Funding Fight". The Washington Post. p. B01.
Overall: Article is well-written, no copyvio detected. All proposed hooks are interesting; I would recommend changing the ALT0 hook to "... could be literally swept off the stage?" if used. QPQ pending, otherwise looks good to go. Ploni💬 15:39, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
