I've listed this article for peer review because... Thinking about trying to shepherd this up to GA and possibly FA. All insights welcome, would love to get some feedback on structuring and style - art articles like this require a decent amount of analysis and opinion from critics and art historians, and it can be hard to know how best to incorporate a range of views/opinions/ideas. I also don't have a great sense of how/if the background/history section should be broken up. Thanks y'all!

Hi! I just have an optional point so far.

... and in the midst of tensions in Los Angeles due to instances of police violence against black communities and related events may be more concise. Do the original sources specifically refer to the Ghetto riots (1964–1969)?

Agreed, that could be shorter. None of the sources reference the '64-'69 riots, but they all point to the killing of Stokes and general community tensions during the era. Many of the sources also point to the Watts riots as an example of the tension happening at the time, but Wolff specifically notes in her essay (cited) that the series preceded the Watts riots. And the first work in the series definitely preceded the '64-'69 riots as well. 19h00s (talk) 14:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
