I recommend this great article in the Washington Post by Jennifer Mendelsohn and Peter A. Shulman on the myths surrounding the 1924 National Democratic Convention. I had a role in the direction of the article. In researching of the origins of the word “Klanbake,” I concluded that word was not the recent invention of right-wing commentators. My hypothesis that sole primary source for Klanbake could be found somewhere in the June 1924 issues of the New York Daily News, a paper that has yet to be digitized, turned out to be true.

I’m really looking forward to this upcoming documentary on Barry Gifford. I have worked on the film as an archival consultant. We have found some really great images and footage of Chicago from late Forties to the early Sixties. Check out the new website for the film.
Hi, there!
Welcome to my new website!
I’m still getting the hang of having my own site. Every once in a while I plan to post some of my historical finds here.
