Silent Parade
- ... that in 1917 over 8,000 African Americans protested lynchings by marching down New York City's Fifth Avenue in silence, accompanied only by the sound of muffled drums?

Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.
Note that the Earwig copyvio tool will produce two false positives:
Those were reviewed during the GA review, and they do not indicate plagiarism or even close paraphrasing. One is a block quote from a leader of the parade (a primary source). The other is a list of parade leaders' names.
Great job with this. With the false positives discarded, no sign of copyvio, well sourced, and recently promoted GA. Source checks out and is cited in article. I fixed one minor innacuracy I spotted about the Dawson Film Find, but beyond that everything looks ok! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:50, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
