Talk:Fort Smith sedition trial

All-white jury
If the fact that the jury was all white is to be mentioned in the lead, then it needs to be discussed in the article. Only one of the two sources about the trial mentions this, and personally, I would avoiding using it as it lacks any specific context. The demographics of the location at the time were probably 80-90% white, so it would not be unusual for it to be an all-white jury, and the AP source slips it in in a way that forces a bias (since we're talking about white supremacists). But regardless, the lead is a summary of what's in the article, so if it's notable enough to be in the lead, then it needs to be in the article first. Butler Blog  (talk) 11:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
