Gertrude Kelly
[edit]... that Irish immigrant Gertrude Kelly organised the first purely political strike in America, briefly uniting black and Irish dockworkers?- ALT1:... that Irish immigrant, anarchist, strike organiser, and New York surgeon Gertrude Kelly is commemorated by a children's park in Chelsea?

New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. The first hook, however, is not entirely accurate, as she was only one of the organizers; and it contains a quote lifted from The New York Sun, and abbreviates it at that, leaving out the part about workingmen. I suggest going with ALT1, which is verified and cited inline. Her list of accomplishments is certainly interesting. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. ALT1 good to go.
