  • Comment: All sources mention the sit-in, with more being included in the article itself. Drummond's significance in New Brunswick's branch of the NAACP (aka the NBAACP) is included in UNB's biography of him, where he is described as having spearheaded the NBAACP, and multiple sources including the NYT one provided confirm his role in the organization as vice-president

• Newly created article, it's long enough, sourced throughout, appears to be written neutrally. Copyright violation appears unlikely. Hooks ALT0 and ALT1 are verified inline and interesting enough. QPQ is provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
