Talk:John Rock (abolitionist)

The article states that Charles Sumner, a United States Senator, made the motion to admit John Rock to practice before the Supreme Court. This cannot be correct, as it is the Supreme Court itself (and exclusively) which admits (or not) lawyers to practice before it. The Senate has nothing to do with that.

Accurate source?

I can't find any reference in the journal (given in the footnote) to the man or to the phrase "black is beautiful." Jk180 (talk) 00:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)jk180[reply]

I couldn't find that reference either. Citation is completely wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.10.170.20 (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

a black biography

Why should this article call him an "african american", when he said "black is beautiful"? He was proud of being black. Black is not an insult or a bad word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Issionadizhid (talk • contribs) 18:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"destined to become..."

Sounds biased and un-encyclopedic. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.244.214.59 (talk) 18:35, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
