Item # 673733
July 20, 1950
NEW YORK TIMES, July 20, 1950 Page 50 has a small and somewhat inconspicuous article headed: "NEGRO JUDGE CONFIRMED" "Senate Unanimously Approves Hastie for Appeals Bench". William Henry Hastie was the first African American to serve as governor of the United States Virgin Islands, as a federal judge, and as a federal appellate judge.
I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Complete in 52 pages, great condition. This is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings.
