Abstract

Who "Exposed" Black?
Allen, Robert S. | September 25, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

The expose of U.S. Supreme Court judge Hugo Black's one-time membership in the Ku Klux Klan was a deliberate conspiracy to destroy the crusading New Dealer's usefulness on the bench and to force U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to abandon his fight to liberalize the reaction-ridden federal judiciary in 1937. What the final outcome of the attack on Black will be is unpredictable. Administration strategists believe the matter will blow over. The author says that Black will not resign and Roosevelt will not ask him to resign. Black has no thought of resigning, for he considers himself guilty of no misconduct or misbehavior either in act or thought.
