Title

Crime Reports from the Florence Herald in the 1930s Involving African-Americans Part II

Subject

The Law, Crime and Punishment

Description

A series of Florence Herald reports of crimes, arrests, and trials involving Shoals area (Colbert, Lauderdale, Franklin Counties) African-Americans from the 1930s.

Founded in 1886 as the bi-weekly Florence Wave, by 1930 one of two papers published in Florence (the other being the Florence Times; the Florence Tribune published briefly in 1934), with Marcy B. Darnall as managing editor of the then-weekly Herald, MC Giles as managing editor, and Mrs. Marcy B. Darnall as business manager.

Every effort has been made to identify all of the crime reports/notices in the Herald from the 1930s involving African-Americans however some may have been inadvertently missed.

The paper published follow-up articles on some of these cases, which were also included if found. All of the articles are listed in chronological order.
