This article (listed in 2008) has been sitting on the "articles needing possible reassessment" list for over a year, and I think there's a good case to be made that it no longer meets the criteria. The primary issue is criterion 2B, which requires inline cites for all statements likely to be challenged. This article has a full two dozen "citation needed" templates, and it appears that most of them are indeed valid. For instance, clear statements of opinion like "Black's most prominent ideological opponent on the Warren Court was John Marshall Harlan II" are completely unsourced, and there are no citations for the paragraph on Brown v. Board of Education. These are just a few examples; there are a number of additional places where sourcing is required by the good article criteria. In sum, this article does not meet the modern GA criteria. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
