biographical information without secondary source
editClarissa Sligh worked at NASA, but there is not a secondary source to support this. The location of this information is from Sligh's web page: "One’s life sometimes collides with moments in history, causing it to be altered dramatically by external change. Certainly this was so for Clarissa Thompson Sligh. When she was 15 years old she became the lead plaintiff in the 1955 school desegregation case in Virginia (Clarissa Thompson et. al. vs. Arlington County School Board). From that moment forward, her work as a student and as a professional – first in math/science working for NASA, later in business, and finally, in the arts – takes into account change, transformation and complication."[1]

Why does her race matter?
editIn the intro: “Clarissa T. Sligh (born 1939)[1] is an African-American book artist and photographer...”
Why the racial reference? In an article about Sally Mann, the intro begins with “Sally Mann (born Sally Turner Munger; May 1, 1951)[1] is an American photographer...”—no racial reference. Perhaps Ms. Mann’s bio should intro’ed with “Sally Mann (born Sally Turner Munger; May 1, 1951)[1] is a European-American photographer...”
How about if we stop with the racial distinctions in articles? In the realm of things such as writing and photography, indeed in all artistic endeavours, one’s abilities are not a product of one’s race.
