There's a paragraph in Section 3: Racism that states Black soldiers were used for suicide missions in WW1, there's no citation to back up such an assertion, and the only evidence I can find of Black combat units in WW1 were the 92nd and 93rd infantry, both commanded by the French who treated them equally to their own units. In fact the only citations in that paragraph, (citations 44 and 45) suggest both units were well respected by their French commanders. May I suggest such an inflammatory comment be removed until further evidence is found to support it? - Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:503C:A400:E805:C7C9:F9B6:62AC ( talk) 18:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC) reply

I know this was a while ago but I totally agree and removed the comment. It is completely unmentioned by any of the cited sources and I removed it. Foward123456 ( talk) 20:51, 26 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Why does the history section begin with Reconstruction? Are Wikipedia readers to believe that segregation began during Reconstruction? FloridaArmy ( talk) 04:07, 9 January 2023 (UTC) reply

Per my reverted edit, see Cicero March for the film documentary of the event, and for background about the march and the film. King, Bevel, and other negotiators at the summit with Mayor Daley which ended the Chicago Open Housing Movement, agreed to call off the march. Others, disagreeing with this decision, decided to carry it on in their absence. Neither King nor Bevel participated. Randy Kryn ( talk) 04:14, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

LoomCreek (who reverted the edit), in good faith you possibly misread the source used to revert. The march referred to in the source was not the later non-SCLC Cicero march, which occurred after SCLC's Chicago movement had ended, but a demonstration during the movement in which bricks and bottles were thrown at the demonstrators (including King). Randy Kryn ( talk) 12:03, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

@Randy Kryn Could you clarify what month they occurred? It seems they happened the same year. LoomCreek ( talk) 15:36, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

It seems the confusion just happened because of how close the events were historically, sorry about that. (and given the mention of just 1966 in the article). LoomCreek ( talk) 15:40, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Just to add a link and for talk page clarity, the Cicero march occurred in September, 1966, after the completion of the Chicago Open Housing Movement. The earlier Marquette Park demonstration in which Dr. King and others faced bricks and other thrown objects took place in August, 1966. Randy Kryn ( talk) 15:44, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Ah okay, thank you for the clarification. It might be worth it to mention both as they exist within the context of each other. LoomCreek ( talk) 15:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The general march in Chicago neighborhoods by MLK & others. And then the later Cicero March itself. LoomCreek ( talk) 15:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The context was different. The Marquette park protests occurred during the Chicago Open Housing Movement. The Cicero march was organized by activists who disagreed with the Open Housing movement's conclusion and announced settlement. Randy Kryn ( talk) 00:07, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Exactly, they exist within the context of each other. LoomCreek ( talk) 00:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

SCLC's marches during the movement have nothing to do with the Cicero event (so "the context of each other" doesn't seem to fit). Randy Kryn ( talk) 00:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

I think the decision to lead a march because the previous ended (because the neighborhoods were still segregated, and the problem unresolved. and thus they disagree with its end) is fairly relevant context. Maybe we're just talking past each other at this point.

I'm not really particularly wed to it. The month should be included to prevent confusion atleast. Which is why I originally suggested the inclusion, just a sentence to basically clarify between the two. (another option is to use {{efn}} -the note function- to provide the clarification.)
