From the 1st paragraph: "Jordan played an important role in the development of black artistic, social, and politic movements and is still widely regarded as one of the most significant and prolific writers of the twentieth century." 

 "Widely regarded" as one of the "most significant" writers of the 20th century?? Without some other qualifiers, that's insane. Who wrote this article, her relatives? Some editor should slap NPOV and "Silly hagiography" tags on this crap.
