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.
Please include proper wikilinks in your hooks. Schwede66 22:13, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
More links added. Not sure there are any more candidates for linking that wouldn't be overkill.

Let's just focus on ALT0, which seems like a good hook. @
Gnomingstuff: Can you provide a page number for this source? Otherwise, it looks like everything else checks out.

Shows up searching the book in Google Books, but without page number;
The Roots of African American Drama (eds. James V. Hatch, Leo Hamalian) also mentions it, page 289.

Great, please add the citation to Roots of African American Drama, and then we're all set.
