Talk:Mordecai Manuel Noah

Archival Letters for Noah
I am working on a project as a Senior History Student in my Senior Seminar on Jewish History. Mordecai Manuel Noah has lots of documentation at the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, Ohio where I have been spending a lot of my time lately. Anyhow, the first time I put in the documentation on the American Jewish Archives it took it, but the second time it did something quite strange and took you to a separate page and only then did the www address show up. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kimberly Koch (talk • contribs) 13:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

"He was born in a family of Portuguese Sephardic ancestry."
At least his father, Manuel Noah, was an Ashkenazi born in Mannheim, GermanyS. Valkemirer (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:27, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

NPOV
The following sentence should be removed unless a better source can be provided: "Even 20th century Jewish publications refused to acknowledge that the African Grove Theater had staged Fortress of Sorrento." This sentence makes it sound as if the entirety of Jewish publishers consistently refused to acknowledge this event as part of some "cover-up". The cite is to a book with no page number provided, incomplete citation, written by a non-historian (a metaphysician) who died in 1951, long before the 20th century was over. I would say perhaps rewrite the sentence in a less pov manner, but I think it best this be removed altogether.

Second, there is quite some prominence regarding his position on African Americans and slavery. This may or may not be sourced (there is a single source at the end of the paragraph so I am unsure if that is relating to just the one sentence or to the entirety of the paragraph. It is also unclear what The Freedom is/was and why if this was a contemporary publication to Mr. Noah, why the cite is to a book published in 1981, but I digress). Later in the article it states that "[i]n his writings he alternately abhorred and supported southern slavery," with no citation. If the former is properly cited the latter should be removed. If the former is not properly cited, both should be removed. 4Tildes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.125.143.178 (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
