[edit] Trivia

I just noticed a trivia section was added to this article. I wanted to point out that such a section is generally a "bad idea", as it encourages editors to turn it into "indescriminate list of information" (see WP:WWIN and [WP:AVTRIV]]). However, the items mentioned are not "trivial", and could/should be assimilated into the article. Thanks, Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Its gone, with all the info integrated into the article. - Freechild 14:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Background

The first sentence is confusing; I really don't know what you mean. Also, in the first paragraph you say the Civil Rights Movement started in the 1940's in Omaha; in a later sentence you say it started in the 1920s. I'd be careful about broadening the topic so much that the "movement" or "activity" isn't specific.--Parkwells 19:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early Years

The article mentions "there were reports of ABB-related action at the time of the lynching". This is very vague and I don't know what it means.--Parkwells 22:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious claim

The line that "Given the passage of Federal civil rights legislation, state legislators may not have considered it necessary to duplicate legislation at their level" is unsubstantiated speculation that needs a citation. We do not know the circumstances that influenced those legislators. • Freechild'sup? 13:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
