2018 PPC?

Should there be something, maybe in aftermath, about the 2018 Poor People's Campaign led by Rev. Dr. Theoharis and Rev. Dr. Barber? In case of people searching the web for information and coming here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mragsdale (talk • contribs) 14:09, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resurrection City

How do editors feel about forking out Resurrection City content to a standalone article, Resurrection City? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Point of View

There are some concerning things in this section. For example, in the section on Resurrection City, it says "In addition strong arm tactics were used by leaders of the movement to cheat local business out of money". I consider the term "strong arm tactics" and "cheat... out of money" to not be neutral and not adequately supported by the reference. Perhaps they should be used as quotes, or removed.

There are also some sources that I think may be biased. I've got to run but I hope to be back later to look through all of this more thoroughly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.70.195 (talk) 13:53, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
