Improved to Good Article status by SusunW (talk), Penny Richards (talk), Rosiestep (talk), Ipigott (talk), Dr. Blofeld (talk), and We hope (talk). Nominated by SusunW (talk) at 16:32, 30 August 2015 (UTC).
Long enough; GA enough; GA'ed recently enough; QPQ QPQed; no bad stuff done with other people's text; pic is ok to use, but a bit meaningless at DYK size; hook is OK but doesn't flow very well as it has her using food to write which is going to be messy (I suppose she could get away with a squeezy sauce bottle); how about:
ALT ... that Sue Bailey Thurman wrote a "palatable history" of professional black women in a cookbook which was published by the National Council of Negro Women in 1958?- Somebody else will need to give it the final tick if you use that (quick QPQers, save yourself the trouble of doing a review by approving my ALT; limited time offer; must end soon!)

- Thanks Belle. I'm fine with the change in the hook. Sorry the photo is so small, but I had to add the fly page when I realized the cover did not have her name on it. I just was glad to find a picture at all. Most are owned by those Universities they deposited their archives with. SusunW (talk) 22:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
Calling for a reviewer for the ALT hook. CoooOOOOOooooOOOOoooeeeeee! Belle (talk) 10:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh Hi ... the Alt is fine its OK for length and its sourced on-line to a secondary source. I suspect the image of her though stands more chance of making the front page.... or cut down the book image to create a crop just for the DYK. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 13:26, 3 September 2015 (UTC) Would ... that Sue Bailey Thurman wrote a cookbook which was a "palatable history" of professional black women? be hookier? Victuallers (talk) 13:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- Victuallers Can't use the image of her. It is fair use. Have found no images of her that are not copyrighted. Belle What if we just use:
