New, long enough, well-referenced, follows Wikipedia guidelines, no sign of copyright violation, QPQ done. All three hooks are inline supported by a reference. I would choose ALT1, since it gives more focus on Ekpenyon's intellectual abilities (language and teaching skills) rather than just his blackness. (The fact that Ekpenyon is quoted for his reaction against racism in an incident during the Blitz is interesting in the core of the article, but that's not in the proposed hooks, and would probably not be easy to put into a neat snappy hook.)
