More work needed[edit]

I've been doing some cleanup on this (although I really need to be working on other matters). I've cited the Pride book because the 2001 Mobile history I cited in the Joe Langan article appears to have been lost in the library's reshelving process, and I'm not sure whether it covered the very messy school desegregation process. I most definitely am not endorsing the Pride book, which IMHO is very heavy on sociological theory and has newspaper cites but rarely has the legal cites necessary. Unfortunately, it needs to be reviewed (or plowed through) in a reading room without access to legal resources. Also, the Erickson book I cited has Thomas' family's legal background but can't be reviewed in the same reading room. Plus, as far as I remember, it didn't cover the decades of legal fighting that created the city's largest law firms through abundant legal fees, although according to the Pride book also tore apart the city (and especially its black community) and delayed infrastructure construction and improvements necessitated by Mobile's wartime and postwar growth.Jweaver28 (talk) 11:17, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
