I shall be reassessing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its listing at Wikipedia:Good articles/Cleanup listing#Articles with 4 cleanup categories assigned
Thanks for looking the article over, but I think you have a point about the hair section-- there should be a link to a sub article. I'm quite happy to see so much information there, so I'll see about moving some of the information to a better place. futurebird ( talk) 14:24, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
This point needs clarification in the article. Is it the patriarchal society that is the cause of the weakened AA family structure? If so, why was said structure stronger in the 1940, 50s and early 60s before the flowering of the women's movement and feminism, and the subsequent weakening of patriarchy? And if as the article seems to suggest poverty is a cause, what was the effect of the late 1960s War on Poverty on AA family structures? A number of writers suggest that the WOP had quite a deleterious effect on AA family structures. This is a controversial area. Recommend that the specific line about patriarchy be left out altogether. Carambolas ( talk) 02:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
The article needs a section on AA theater, playwrights and the acting community. There were some actors who gained renown in the 19th century, and companies were formed then; and there has been more development since the 20th century. Ira Aldridge was a Shakespearean actor who emigrated to England, where he found great success, and was also well-received on the Continent. There's an article on Blackface, but not an overview of theatre. Parkwells ( talk) 17:06, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
