Hi, I like what you've done so far! I appreciate that you took the big "biography" section and broke it into sections. I also like that you added additional images.
 * I think year of birth should be added to early life section
 * Missing citation at the end of this sentence: Returning to New Bedford around 1900, she began a 29-year career at the William H. Taylor School as the public school system's first African American teacher.
 * Relating to this sentence Brooks petitioned the National American Woman Suffrage Association for membership on the eve of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919, a request which was denied, does the source say why it was denied? This might be good to include
 * It's good to avoid references to "relative time", as we don't know when people will be reading what we're writing. For sentences like "The building itself is still standing in New Bedford", it would be good to include a reference to an absolute time. Instead, you could say "As of 2019, the building itself is still standing in New Bedford" with a reference to a reliable source
 * You should always define an acronym/initialism at first use. You do a good job of this most of the time, but I noticed that YWCA is not defined at first use.
 * For this last sentence After her death in 1951, the city of New Bedford honored her by naming a school after her in 1957, it might be good to tack a bit on the end with the name of the school itself.

Overall you did a great job! Everything is well-cited and formatted correctly, so I have very few suggestions to make. Nicely done. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
