Baltimore Afro-American, October 19, 1923. Messed up on so many levels. I didn’t know that Southern papers tried to discourage migration of the black labor force with actuarial fictions.

His target was softer than an eiderdown full of newborn kittens, but the guy somehow couldn’t get the job done.
