Okay, I'm starting a review.

Traveling while black

Kudos on the background section, I'm very pleasantly surprised on the depth of coverage you've done, to place this book in the larger context, even highlighting how the issue lingers, via Harris' account.

Does Seiler reference the exact issue of The Crisis that the quote is from? While it's appropriate to reference Seiler's book, as it's a much more accessible resource, it would be nice to add a second reference to the actual issue.

I've added a reference to the actual issue, as given in Seiler's footnotes. Prioryman (talk) 21:58, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The comment about Southerners disliking the sundown town practice, is there another location in the paragraph that this could fit? It's an great insight, but I'm wondering if it might be breaking up the larger thought too much.

To be honest I can't really see a more appropriate spot for it. Is there somewhere that you would suggest? Prioryman (talk) 21:58, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And that's not even counting any of your FAs that were previously GAs, if you were involved at that point in the process! -- Zanimum (talk) 20:19, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very interesting read, this is one Canadian who's learning a lot. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:04, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks on both counts above, more review in the next few days. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:25, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Navigating Jim Crow

Perhaps note that the US Travel Bureau a government agency/program? With no article to link through to, I'm wondering if that should be clarified.

Impact

"black women as customers - hotels and so on" Could this be turned into an en dash or an em dash, even if it's only a hyphen in the source?

Passing "Publishing history" and "Legacy".

The children's book, the concept of the book accomodating Jim Crow, lots of very interesting concepts and notes.

What extensive research into the book and the concept related to the book. Wow.

Talk page issues seem to be resolved. -- Zanimum (talk) 22:36, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the two changes, and passed the article. Congrats on GA #28! -- Zanimum (talk) 01:13, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Gosh, is it really #28? :-) Prioryman (talk) 20:06, 20 November 2013 (UTC
