Article is new enough, long enough, and the hook is significant, particularly as it's currently Black History Month. The Arbutus cite, which confirms the date of his graduation, is a little sparse, but I'll assume good faith it's the 1895 copy of the yearbook and hence can be properly verified. Good to go.
