Internal red-team review
Twelve risks and publication safeguards documented.
Governance & review
A living doctrine requires a public memory.
Version 1.0 is frozen for public review. Revision can correct error and improve capacity; it cannot silently rewrite the record.
Honesty statement
No independent external reviewer has endorsed this release.
The doctrine includes an internal adversarial memorandum, a proposed review panel, reviewer assignments, and a reader-pilot protocol. Those preparations do not become independent review until real reviewers participate and signed work enters the public record.
Independent scholarly review
Panel architecture prepared; signed reviews not yet on record.
Reader pilot
Protocol prepared; participant responses not yet collected.
Amendment cycle
Opens only after documented feedback is received.
Recommended panel
Review must test history, use, harm, and institutional reality.
Historian
Black nationalism or Black Power specialization.
Black Studies scholar
Training in archive and citation practice.
Institution-builder
Organizer with operational experience.
Movement-history scholar
Expertise in Black women’s political thought.
Informed critic
Substantive disagreement with part of the doctrine.
The reviewer’s charge
- Identify unsupported claims, weak citation locations, false consensus, anachronism, and missing counterevidence.
- Mark every rule: retain, revise, reclassify, or remove.
- Distinguish disagreement with a rule from evidence that it misrepresents the archive.
- Name foreseeable harms or abuses created by the wording.
- Recommend exact replacement language and sources where possible.
