Significance

It does not take much to notice the significance of Paul to Black history in the U.S. and in Haiti. His name is all over the primary sources even he is seldom the focus of present-day scholarly works. That does not mean, however, that he is not figured in the literature, but that he deserves more attention than what he is given, including, here, in Wikipedia. I suggest we expand this article.

Expand Article

This article should be expanded and include more information, especially with such an important as Thomas Paul. One way to potentially do this is by describing some of the works - such as social activism and volunteering - done by Thomas Paul's organization. -BryantPol (talk) 03:25, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal & Outline

Before I begin with my proposal and outline, I would first like to say that I would appreciate any feedback in regards to my plans. My proposal and outline can be found in my user sandbox by clicking here. Basically, I want to expand this article and organize the information. I will begin by first updating Thomas Paul's profile and the visualization of the article. After this is completed, I will work by adding more sources and deleting the sources which are not linked. I will further research more about his work on Haiti and Prince Hall Masonry to expand these sections, and I will separate all the information regarding his relatives in a different section.
