• ... that although the 1786 tignon law was intended to hinder free Black women, those who followed it made the tignon a "mark of distinction"? Source: mark of distinction'-- hindrance can be found in any of the sources, here's a non- paywalled one s a visible sign of belonging to the slave class, whether they were enslaved or not. Not explicitly stated in the article, but I'd say tying free women to the slave class counts as hindrance.

• New enough, long enough. The hook is interesting. Earwig's report shows only incidental similarity and quotes. Article is adequately cited, the sources are good. QPQ done. Nice work! Guettarda (talk) 01:38, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
