 * ALT1: ... that an award called the Attorney of the Year exists, and was most recently won by Nekima Levy-Pounds? There is very little of interest in the whole article.-- Laun  chba  ller  15:21, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that an organization to help young African American men avoid gangs and prison, cofounded by law professor Nekima Levy-Pounds (pictured), is planning to open a coffee shop?
 * I like ALT2. Pity I don't know who suggested it...-- Laun  chba  ller  16:10, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'll complete this review since it looks like it has stalled a bit. Article is 4347 characters, moved to mainspace on June 12, and three sources support various parts of the ALT2 hook. I agree that the original hook is a tad boring (and others seem to agree), so I'm striking it. I spotchecked a few sources and found a few similar clumps of words here or there ("...was too focused on issues of police brutality...") but nothing that I would classify as close paraphrasing. I took the liberty of adding two commas in the ALT2 hook but now approve it for the main page. Well done!  Ruby  2010/  2013  19:36, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
