Ray Marcano
edit- ... that in 2000 Ray Marcano, who became president of the Society of Professional Journalists in the United States, was only the second black president of the organization in its history?

- New enough and long enough. The hook is cited to a reliable source, as are many other statements in the article, so that's not a problem. The article seems neutral and I could not find compelling evidence of any copyvios, either using Earwig's tool [1] or looking at two of the sources (this one and this one). Hook is slightly below 200 characters (when subtracting wikitext), so it seems to be short enough. However, I think it might be a good idea to reword the hook to say something like "That in 2000 Ray Marcano became only the second black president of the Society of Professional Journalists in the organization's history?" Other than that, the disambig template I put on the page, and QPQ, this should be good to go.
