I am a student editor for this Wikipedia page and plan on offering major structural updates to the article, including content and citations. Please let me know if additional criteria should be considered.Niortega (talk) 03:10, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This entry under "Other contributions" has an incorrect name:

· Provided the illustrations for Charles L. Bronson's 1984 National Geographic Magazine article "Escape from Slavery: The Underground Railroad."

It is not Charles L Bronson. It is Charles L. Blockson (namesake for the Blockson Collection of African America History at Temple University in Philadelphia. So when you click on the National Geographic link, you get a picture of Charles Bronson, not Jerry Pinkney's illustration for the article on the Underground Railroad.

I am going to combine the Literary Works & biography sections into one section. The current sections are copy-pasted without attribution.Niortega (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the quotes section with updated sourcing; since this is a BLP, there shouldn't be blog posts.Niortega (talk) 23:43, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
