Sierramfaust, I'm tweaking and expanding the article a bit: she's notable, and we'll get her in mainspace, but I want to do that together with Minnie Lou Crosthwaite; their husbands were related, apparently. And then we'll get her on the front page, so that thousands of editors will look at the article. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for writing her up.

DYK for Minnie Lee Crosthwaite

On 29 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Minnie Lou Crosthwaite, the first Black woman to pass the teacher exam in Nashville's segregated school system, and Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, one of Kansas City's first Black social workers, both attended Fisk University? You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Minnie Lee Crosthwaite), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
