America in the King Years

(

... that each of the three volumes of Taylor Branch's biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. were named based on aspects of the Book of Exodus?

The references are not formatted. SL93 (talk) 00:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I formatted the references. There is one statement that needs a source; I added a "citation needed" tag. Otherwise the article looks in good shape. Age, length, referencing all OK. Hook ref verified. I wonder if you would consider something a little hookier:
ALT1: ~~... that Taylor Branch's Pulitzer Prize-winning trilogy about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement took 24 years to write?~~ Yoninah (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits on this - The only thing about that is that the whole trilogy didn't win the Pulitzer, only one volume of it did. KConWiki (talk) 02:33, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Maybe just call it "Taylor Branch's award-winning trilogy..." or something like that? Although, I have to say that I do like the Exodus references. Does anyone else have an opinion? KConWiki (talk) 03:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem at all; it's your hook, so we'll go with it. All citations are in place. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:44, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
