Victimized by Folklore

by Jim Loewen

(1) Encyclopedias were large books filled with articles claiming to cover all human knowledge. In those days, parents trying to do their best for their children bought them, especially multi-volume sets called The World Book Encyclopedia.

(2) Singer's January 7, 2002, New Yorker article, "Who Killed Carol Jenkins?" set a high standard of reporting.

(3) "Martinsville's Sad Season," Sports Illustrated, 2/23/1998, 24.

(4) Earl Woodard as paraphrased by Jeff Swiatek, "Martinsville tired of living with image of racism, bigotry," Indianapolis Star, 6/25/1989.
