One more add: the anonymous user who edited the Wikipedia page also added
this citation, which is considerably more nuanced than their edits to the
page content (which boiled down to "Square Dancing is racist"):
The video they linked to tells the history in more detail, including the
ultimate irony that many of the instruments, musical styles, and calling
styles of square dance were brought from Africa by enslaved people.

Hi Tony,
I think the MWSD history should be on the MWSD page; the
American traditional squares history should be on the traditional page and
the main SD page should provide brief synopses of those with pointers to
the other pages.
My main interest is the main SD page. If you publish your
research and let me know what you would like added to the main SD page,
then I would be happy to update the main SD page and cite your articles. I
am Dancer42 on Wikipedia.
Happy dancing,
John
