On September 7, the New York Times ran an obituary for Charlotta Bass, who was the Progressive Party’s vice-presidential nominee in 1952, and the first African-American woman to be on the ballot anywhere for vice-president. The New York Times has recently been running belated obituaries for people who did not get a Times obituary when they died, but the newspaper now believes that they should have had such obituaries.
Bass died April 12, 1969. Thanks to Irv Sutley for the link.
Any super LATE obits for Adam and Eve ???
and person who had the first ballot access case ???
Have the run a late obituary for George Washington?
Virtue signaling bullshit.
“Have the run a late obituary for George Washington?” was the NY Times around when he died, I doubt it.
“The New York Times has recently been running belated obituaries for people who did not get a Times obituary when they died, but the newspaper now believes that they should have had such obituaries”
