Comment: Second nomination, new article -- this one about an African American stage director who seems quite influential and pioneering in Black theater. (It's part of
FloridaArmy's "Missing Pieces" list, which is a great source of interesting figures to write about.) Anne Cooke Reid's career has a lot of "firsts," and the first two are some of those. The second two concern her Howard University Players' Europe tour. My preferred hook is some variation on ALT2 -- a nearly all-Black cast in the 1940s was noteworthy and much remarked upon by reviewers -- but I can't figure out how to least clunkily word it.
