QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work. Some minor issues. First, should the hook specify that it is the first racially integrated public housing development to match what the sources say? Also, in J. Lister Holmes, I read In 1940, he was tasked by the Seattle Housing Authority to serve as the chief architect of the Yesler Terrace development, the first public housing development in the United States. That doesn't sound right, given that the hook is referring to it as the first racially-integrated one? Clear these two things up and it should be good to go.
