- Comment: I initially used the QPQ for an article that ended up being deleted. The "colored cemetery down the road" bit is a quote from the book so I used the book as a reference for that part to make it clear.

Article is long enough and has adequate citations throughout. Citations are reliable source and the hook is reasonably interesting (though it does follow the 'X is Y' format) -- I thought it was interesting and worth sharing. - Kenirwin/(talk) 17:26, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
