  • ... that the great nephew of Leon Trotsky was a physician for the Black Panther Party and helped deinstitutionalize Willowbrook State School? Source: "Raised in Hollywood, he was also the son of a major movie producer, Samuel Bronston, and the great nephew of socialist revolutionary Leon Trotsky." (Nisbet 2021, p.39); "...he moved to New York, where he served as the main physician for the Black Panther Party." (Nisbet 2021, p.39); "He then moved to New York City, and in the early 1970s he became a major force in publicizing and protesting the horrendous conditions at Willowbrook, a state facility on Staten Island that housed 5,000 mentally disabled adults and children. These efforts culminated in a 1975 state court decision to deinstitutionalize the facility’s patients." (Rogers 2001, p. 19). Full book titles can be found in the article.

Created by Freedom4U (talk). Self-nominated at 12:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William Bronston; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Is Deinstitutionalisation what is meant here? If so, I think it should be linked in the lead and body of the article as readers may not understand. (In the hook we could leave it unlinked or rephrase to add a link without creating a sea of blue.)
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Great hook and a very interesting article! — Bilorv (talk) 23:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
