I'm not enough of a Roberson expert to edit this article, but the later passages feel as if they've been written by a mixture of ChatGPT and an undergraduate doing an assignment. To point to just one instance: "Roberson's use of conceptual photography goes beyond challenging constructed notions of black and white; it also serves as a method of chronicling history. His poetry, with its dexterity of language and layered meanings, creates an experiential tapestry rather than a traditional narrative. This controlled distraction steps beyond convention to challenge prevailing ideas about color in American society." A lot of this is fluff, and the reference to photography comes out of nowhere and has no citation.
In addition, whoever/whatever wrote this is borderline plagiarizing Horton's 2015 chapter (and the article does not in fact have a full citation for Horton, just parenthetical references). It uses Horton's words and structure with superficial tweaks.
