Talk:Sidney Lawrence

community organizer who died in 1975?
How does one start a new page for someone else with the same name?

Sidney Lawrence of Kansas City headed the Kansas City JCRB from 1945 to 1973, as well as impacting the collection at the Nelson-Atkins and starting various other organizations, such as the "Panel of American Women" in 1957 and 1964.

He was a pillar of the community whose actions had lasting positive impact and what that impact has been( he encouraged McKinley Burnett for instance) might be more encyclopedia-worthy than a one-term congressman's tombstone.

Maybe Friends Of Sid should just take over the page?
