- ... that a 1987 march attended by about 20,000 protestors in Forsyth County, Georgia, has been called one of the largest civil rights demonstrations since the civil rights movement?

- 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)
