• Nice hooks, and a nice submission for Black History Month. The article is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, and adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Two paragraphs, however, lack citations per DYK rules (that last sentence about his retirement probably should be incorporated into a longer paragraph.) Offline hook refs AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 22:53, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

• Yoninah Thank you for the review. I added citations to the paragraphs missing them. Let me know if there is anything else I need to correct. Mchuedem (talk) 15:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you, all cites in place. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
