Transcription Notes:
misspelling of "desegregation" in the review of ARGUMENT: THE HISTORY-MAKING DECISION THAT SPURRED THE CIVIL RIGHTS REVOLUTION IN THE UNITED STATES, not corrected Not sure why you didn't correct it but I can't see one despite checking several times. Wouldn't it take less time if you were to just correct it? Fixed it. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-15 16:20:23 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-15 16:51:20 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-02-15 17:00:40
