Hugo Black takes office.. U.S. Supreme Court...



Item # 657817

August 18, 1937

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, August 18, 1937

* Hugo Black - American politician and jurist
* Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court
* Klu Klux Klan - KKK


The front page has a great banner headline: "BLACK GOES ON COURT, 63-16" with subheads and related cartoon. Nice for display. First report coverage on Hugo Black taking office as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Black was accused by many of being associated with the Klu Klux Klan. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with all 32 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. In great condition as such, a few small binding holes at the blank spine.
