Sarah Wilkerson Freeman

  • ... that American historian Sarah Wilkerson Freeman curated a photographic exhibit depicting the fluidity of race, gender, and sexuality in New Orleans during the McCarthy era? Source: "In these photos and Robinson's New Orleans work in general, Wilkerson-Freeman sees the first flickers of social progress. "There's a feeling of change going on when it comes to race and sexuality and gender issues," she says. "And also creativity. A liberation going on in the midst of the conservatism of the McCarthy Era." (Spying on Canal Street)

Interesting life, on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook is fine with me, but the sentence with the key fact still needs a cite. I am a bit confused by her name, no birth name given in article and infobox - was she born with a double surname? - and a mysterious "L." in the lead but nowhere else. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:28, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Added inline cite. SusunW, most sources call her Wilkerson-Freeman; maybe we should go to hyphenation. Do you have any info on her early life? Yoninah (talk) 23:37, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
I can approve with the cite given, sure that you'll work the name questions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:54, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
