Self-published book[edit]

One of the sources used in this article is Black Americans 17th Century to 21st Century: Black Struggles and Successes ISBN 1-4907-1733-1. The book seems to be vanity published (Trafford Publishing, pricing) and I found many typos in it and possibly text that was taken from Wikipedia. I have removed the book from other articles where I found it, but I didn't remove it here because it's used so many times and I didn't want to add so many "Citation needed" templates. But I don't think it should be used as a source. -kyykaarme (talk) 20:24, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
