The Celtics have come up a few times now - is there something that can be fleshed out about the Celtics connection to basketball integration?

Does this mean that the Celtics refused to allow Cooper to play?

Does this tie into the creation of the euphemistic term for the New Negro Movement at all?

Tying this into the significance of a black man representing democracy more might strengthen your overall argument.

This is so interesting to me - I wonder if focusing on these lost opportunities because of racism would strengthen the connection between your slides (both boxing and overall)? Also, it would really help me follow these slides more clearly if they were grounded in more locations (especially since so many of these boxers have J names!).

I do understand what this act is based on the next sentence, but I wonder if it could be made clearer? Also when was it created and disbanded?

What team does Foster own?

Is there a record of who thought to play the game in the first place? Was the audience both black and white?

Does the name reference anything/what is a pythian?

Do they still exist? If not, when were they disbanded?

Though this may not directly relate to the topic, I am so focused on knowing why Catto was murdered that it might make sense just to state why so that I don't leave the presentation to google why?

In Philly, the Tri-State/New England Area, the North, the U.S. or in the pan-African sense?

Is this how the sport was spelt back in the day?

Connecting the New Negro Movement era artists to contemporary artists works well, though I wonder if the title of your piece is a bit misleading as this slide and, i believe, brief references in two other slides make up the 'now' portion. Is there a way to integrate more 'now,' if that's important to your argument, or change some of the language to better represent your engaging work with past portraiture? Also has the portraiture, as a definition, changed a lot over the century?

tense problems, also consider consistency of we/ no subject

What do you mean by great continuity?

Is she related to Meta Vaux Warrick from slide 2?

You might consider furthering this to discuss Fuller's utilizations of allusion and history to showcase black intelligence and scholarship?

Great detail - I'm wondering how did she receive recognition?

Can this be rephrased so as to avoid the first person?

Were his struggles more than facing racial or socio-economic inequality?

now, then, or now and then?

from whom?

Would this sentence function better if you focus on what the painting does/appears as rather than a potential viewer?

Is Warrick or the statuette resisting the image? Also, currently this sentence gives the portrait of Turner as being made by the statuette, rather than Warrick.

aimed to shock? I believe there is a tense shift in this sentence.

hyphen missing?

Which issue? Was it soon after or many years later?

This figure of speech brings my mind's eye into the house/domestic space, which works with Turner expecting a child, but a different way of saying this might work more strongly with the rest of the analysis. Is there a better way to say that the story was quieted?

It might help if you define portraiture and set some limitations for what that means, since I assumed portraitures were portraits and so only paintings/drawings.

What is the difference between a statuette and a statue?

Are your artists both black and white? Are they of mixed racial heritage or neither black nor white? And, if so, how does this matter/affect the success of the portraiture in rearticulating black humanity?

I'm a bit confused here - it later proved, but at the time was still becoming? Also the word 'ideal' makes me wonder - what are the drawbacks, if any, of portraiture?
