Objections
- Art Hanes, Jr has contacted me regarding major errors of fact and inadequacy of historical context in this article and the one on himself. He'll be providing me a list of objections/corrections soon. I can certainly see plenty of room for improvement. I'll review the sources cited by McWhorter for specific claims and try to better cite those. Some of them may be contradicted (in print, or in unpublished family histories) and, where appropriate, I'll try to indicate where there may be controversy. (Hanes considers McWhorter's scholarship to be "atrocious") If anyone finds some good independent sources to flesh out and contextualize this biography, that would be most helpful. --Dystopos 13:11, 10 September 2009 (PDT)
