American Progress Bulletin No. 1

Item Info

Title:
American Progress Bulletin No. 1
Date:
1930 to 1935
Description:

  • One-page circular letter printed by newspaper the AMERICAN PROGRESS, circa 1935. Headline reads "J.P. Morgan & Company Points Way for Capone's Release." It's addressed to gangster Al Capone. It strongly criticizes the relationship between J.P. Morgan (and his associates) and the federal government and what he's been allowed to get away with, unlike Al Capone who is in prison for tax evasion. It goes as far as to claim that Morgan's company does the same thing but with federal approval. The catalyst for the letter is the recent assault of Huey P. Long on Long Island. This publication was supported by Huey P. Long.
