(

... that Jefferson Street, the historic center of the African-American community in Nashville, Tennessee, was decimated by the construction of Interstate 40 in the aftermath of the Nashville sit-ins?

- ALT1:...that the decision to build Interstate 40 across Jefferson Street, Nashville's historic center for the African-American community, after the Nashville sit-ins led to its economic decline?

Reviewed: Will do one later.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: New enough, long enough, no copyvio detected (Earwig's Copyvio Detector at 6.5%) and seems neutral. The last sentence in paragraph 5 of the "History" section contains what seems to be a minor error: "As a result, many African-American residents move to the Bordeaux area in North Nashville" - should this read "..residents moved to..."?
Hook OK (source listed here requires subscription, but it is verified in other sources such as this). I see no reason to use ALT1 - the original hook is good in my opinion. All in all, seems OK once QPQ is done. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

I've fixed the typo. For the QPQ, I am working on Template:Did you know nominations/Mette Ivie Harrison.Zigzig20s (talk) 01:03, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, good to go. :) Xwejnusgozo (talk) 14:56, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
