Approve Main Hook The article was moved to mainspace on the 15th, so is new enough. It is more than long enough and reads neutrally (the second sentence in the lede could use a bit of tweaking, I feel). No issues with the copyvio detector. The hook is short enough and interesting. I'm going with the first main hook as the more interesting one. The QPQ is done and there's no image to address. Looks good to go!

Silver seren, thank you so much for the quick turnaround (hoping it may go up within BHM!) and for drawing my attention to the second sentence. I agree—while it’s true and reflects how sources depict him, it’s not really in WP “house style”. I will change the first sentence to something like “...was an American physician known for his social activism” or similar to resolve that. Thanks again!

Silver seren, it looks like your review is complete, but it's not "official" until you include an icon such as {{subst:DYKtick}}. The bot won't move this to the Approved nominations page until that's done.
