[edit] Civil Rights Activist

Was Charlotte not active enough to be included in this category? Do we need to beef up that section of the acticle? Is the category itself questionable? Please explain the removal, and let's talk. WBardwin 06:28, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The "L."

In every source I researched I found Charlotte's name to include the initial "L."; most often as "Charlotte L. Forten". Her effect on the very early consciousness of civil rights was critical. Michael David 19:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name confusion

I just spent a chunk of time doing my best to unscramble all of the confusing name references I spotted. Yikes -- I hope I got it all right! :) I do wish people would spend a bit of time reading over what they've written using the Preview function, and catching stuff like that before making it permanent. Of course, this particular article presented more problems than most, due to the complicated family structure and inter-relationships -- so it probably would have been a good idea to test things out for clarity on a second party before posting to WP.
