Following the first newspaper published by Mary Ann Shadd Cary, The Provincial Freeman, I would like to add a link to the Wikipedia about what the newspaper talks about, the target group and the passion the journalist had. The newspaper was published weekly urging African Americans to have unity and togetherness and to move to Canada.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary: The Black Press and Protest in the Nineteenth Century
-The author of this book is Jane Rhodes who is a department head of African American studies and a professor in the University of Illinois at Chicago. The book talks about Mary Ann's life, her achievements, the challenges she faced and the political movements she was involved in.

Library and Archives Canada is a website that talked about Mary Ann as a northern star, the objectives of the newspaper she published and her history even after the demise of The Provincial Freeman. It also explains how she has remained a historical figure in Canada.

I plan to write in depth about the first newspaper Mary Ann Shadd Cary published, what it urged African Americans at the time to do. I also plan to write about her life after she stopped working with the Provincial Freedom and the impact the newspaper brought to African Americans.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary never practiced law, and never passed a bar exam. She is not a lawyer and it would be ethically questionable for anyone with the equivalent status to claim they are a lawyer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.177.237.76 (talk) 23:43, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

If the infobox is saying that "Cary" is part of her birth name, that's incorrect. Also, the author of the NYT obituary is Megan Specia (not "Special")... AnonMoos (talk) 13:04, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

This section offers a lot of detailed information about family members beyond Mary Ann herself. I'd like to revise it to focus on her, letting her father's page carry the rest of it: Abraham D. Shadd. Because that's a significant trim, I wanted to post on the talk page first for feedback from the community before I go forward. Please let me know what you think.
