Gildersleeve's racial attitudes

[edit]

Basil Gildersleeve has been criticised by some modern scholars for his white supremacist views; see, for example, this article by Professor Simon Gikandi of Princeton University: "Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve". According to Sarah Bond of Iowa University in a talk given at the 2019 Society for Classical Studies annual meeting, Gildersleeve wrote "some of the most racist and abominable columns for the Richmond Times-Dispatch that we actually know of, defending slavery, defending the South." Something should be added to the entry about this, I believe, to give a balanced picture. Kanjuzi (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fannie Manning Gildersleeve Tonsler

[edit]

I am very interested in finding out who edited Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve's page to include information about Fannie Manning Gildersleeve Tonsler. I am looking for more information about Mrs. Tonsler, and any leads would be appreciated. Ebeckma3jhu (talk) 14:04, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
