Peer Review Celia (slave): Elizabeth Rha

Bibliography:

All of these sources look credible and valid however, I would be careful of sources 9/10/12 as they come from "proquest" which is usually blocked by a paywall/subscriptions so to make sure that those sources are exceptions to those rules.

Article:


 * 1) Your beginning sentence is probably one of the most important parts of your article as that is the first piece of information your reader is learning, and therefore their first impression of your subject.  Therefore, for your article rather than keep the first sentence at "Celia (died December 21, 1855) was an enslaved woman tried for the first-degree murder of Robert Newsom, her owner, in Callaway County, Missouri" maybe also look to include her verdict and the sentence immediately following would define why this case was controversial and misogynistic.
 * 2) Under heading "Celia through history and popular culture" I think it is prefacing the various newsarticles with reasons why they did not include her motive/details/etc to credit her.  It makes sense to be apprehensive of providing such a disclaimer to present yourself as more unbiased but also, their misogyny and discrimination and bias must be explained in order to understand Celia better.

In conclusion, I feel as if your article is at a great start and it looks like you have organized your headings enough so far that writing the rest of her biography should go more efficiently.
