The Delectable Negro
- ... that The Delectable Negro describes how Nat Turner's body was turned into "medicinal" grease? Source: "Woodard carefully and compellingly links scenes of actual cannibalism—including the transformation of Nat Turner's body into “medicinal” grease (172)—to the starvation of slaves and to more metaphysical, parasitic relations that use the enslaved person’s body to fuel the construction of whiteness." –The American Historical Review
- Reviewed: Berry Boswell Brooks
- Comment: Request that this be held for August 21, when Nat Turner's rebellion began.

- Reviewing this here. Comments below!
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Generally well sourced, but the citation says it was "medicinal" grease with quotation marks, implying that it may not have actually been for that exact purpose. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - Hook says medicinal grease, but citation says "medicinal" grease-- the distinction seems to be important.
- Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
I think a slight tweak to this hook will get this there. Great work here. Nomader (talk) 04:49, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
