Every effort has been made to identify all of the crime reports/notices in the Herald from 1900-1903 involving African-Americans however some may have been inadvertently missed. Also, reports of some stories/cases may continue over several issues.

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."
