[edit] Context

Boycott when and over what. Quote needs context too. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Added tags for context, cleanup, and stub. Right now this is pure AfD fodder because it has no context (per NickelShoe) and is completely unsourced, which is a shame because there is probably potential for a decent article here.--Isotope23 16:41, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Tags

Does this article really requre two cleanup tags? It's a stub and stubs obviously require expansion. I think that this article only requires expansion; not cleanup. --Strothra 01:12, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • It needs context and verification as well. Right now, assuming I know nothing at all about Mother Pollard, all I see in this article is that some lady allegedly (because it is not sourced in any way) boycotted something at some time Montgomery, Alabama and at some point said “My feets is tired, but my soul is rested...” which may or may not have been in relation to the mystery boycott. Heck, from this article you might surmise that she was boycotting the poor condition of footwear in Alabama in the 1800's.--Isotope23 20:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

I've started trying to expand this article, but I'm running into a bit of a problem with sources; i.e. I can't find anything about Mother Pollard's full name, DOB, date of death, etc. which would be very nice to have here. I added some more context though so at least it is clearer in what context the quote she is most famous for was made.--Isotope23 17:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
