THE DETROIT NEWS, May 22, 1936
* Black Legion - American terrorists
* Charles Poole murder - lynching
* Works Progress Administration organizer
The front page has a nice banner headline: "Vigilante Society Is Exposed Here in Arrest of 16 Members in Killing" with subhead and three related photos. First report coverage continues on page 2. Great to have in a Detroit paper. Rare as such.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 60 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
