The balance among other topics seems awry. Tupac Shakur's entry is longer than the one for the slave revolutionary Nat Turner. Thomas Jefferson has no entry, but his black mistress, Sally Hemings, does. Anita Hill is given about the same space as the black abolitionist and women's rights activist Charlotte Forten Grimke. In addition, references at the end of articles are only to other articles in this work.
None gives suggestions for other, outside sources.
