• Comment: Written by Rizzle13. Moved to mainspace by QuakerSquirrel. I know that there is some disagreement on whether "first to" hooks are of general interest. In this case, it's impressive/interesting that two members of a couple both served as presidents of higher ed institutions and that they were both the first Black person in that position, so I hope we can use that hook or something similar.

• its long enough and the article and hooks are well referenced. No sign of close paraphrasing, but I did add the hook explicitly to the article. There is no image as none of her university's allow the images of their staff to be shown on Wikipedia (sound of bullet entering foot). Nice work and collaboration QuakerSquirrel and Rizzle13. Good to go. Victuallers (talk) 10:35, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
