QPQ: Done.

Overall: All looks good! I think the hook could be a bit more concise, but there's nothing really wrong with it and it's rather interesting! I would absolutely support this being posted on 4 April, as this is article is very relevant to that date. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC) Grnrchst (talk) 15:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the review, Grnrchst! I agree with you that the hook feels longish...I tried to trim it, but couldn't figure out how. If you have any suggestions, I'm wide open! Valereee (talk) 18:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that one of the buildings that houses the Safe House Museum (pictured) was where Martin Luther King, Jr., hid from the Ku Klux Klan on this date in 1968, just weeks before he was assassinated?
Added a March 21 hook from discussion at DYKTALK. Can you approve @Grnrchst:? Bruxton (talk) 20:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Revised hook is good! I agree that the date he hid there is probably better than his date of death. --Grnrchst (talk) 21:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
