Excellent article, well-sourced, and certainly long enough. I'd say this is headed for FA status. The NYT source checks out, but the LA Times does not because that's a story before the march projecting the size. Regardless, the NYT is enough to sustain this hook. Earwig's tool doesn't pick up anything concerning, just properly attributed quotes and phrases like "civil rights movement". Gamaliel (talk) 16:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
