- Description:
- Portrait of Detroit attorney Aaron Sapiro who in 1925 filed a libel lawsuit against Henry Ford and his newspaper The Dearborn Independent. "The Independent accused Aaron Sapiro, the movement’s leader, of defrauding American farmers to advance an international Jewish conspiracy. Ford saw himself as the only legitimate champion of rural America; he targeted Sapiro both because he was Jewish and because he was not a farmer ... Determined to silence Ford, Sapiro demanded a retraction. The paper replied with still more defamatory articles. In 1925, Sapiro filed a federal libel suit in Detroit, requesting $1 million in damages. For nearly two years, the defense tried fruitlessly to prove that the articles were true--the only way a publisher could evade responsibility for libel ... Reed and the Ford lawyers underestimated Sapiro and the strength of his case, and Marshall misjudged its potential for strengthening the civil rights claims of American Jews ... As the trial careened toward its end, Ford became desperate to end the suit and avoid taking the witness stand. He ordered his bodyguard, Harry Bennett, to secure a mistrial. Bennett planted an interview with a juror in a Detroit newspaper, producing the desired result. Ford then hurriedly dispatched emissaries to meet with Marshall, who agreed not only to mediate the conflict but also secretly to write Ford’s statement of apology. Having criticized Sapiro for bringing litigation that he believed would only reinforce racist stereotypes, Marshall made sure that Ford’s apology was directed not to Sapiro but to the Jewish people. Thus, though American law did not then recognize hate speech as such, Marshall got Ford to sign a public statement that did," from "Suing Henry Ford: America's First Hate Speech Case," by Victoria Saker Woeste at the American Bar Foundation's website.

- Description:
- Portrait of legendary blues musician, B.B. King performing at the 1980 Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival. "Riley “B.B.” King has been called the “King of the Blues” and “Ambassador of the Blues,” and indeed he’s reigned across the decades as the genre’s most recognizable and influential artist, his half-century of success owes much to his hard work as a touring musician who consistently logged between 200 and 300 shows a year, through it all he’s remained faithful to the blues while keeping abreast of contemporary trends and deftly incorporating other favored forms - jazz and pop, for instance - into his musical overview ... as a guitarist, King is best-known for his single-note solos, played on a hollowbody Gibson guitar, King’s unique tone is velvety and regal, with a discernible sting, he’s known for his trilling vibrato, wicked string bends, and a judicious approach that makes every note count," from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum's website.

- Portrait of jazz singer and lyricist, Eddie Jefferson who was shot to death outside Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit, Michigan. "The founder of vocalese (putting recorded solos to words), Eddie Jefferson did not have a great voice, but he was one of the top jazz singers, getting the maximum out of what he had, he started out working as a tap dancer, but by the late '40s was singing and writing lyrics," from AllMusic website. "In the early hours of Wednesday, May 9, 1979, jazz singer Eddie Jefferson was leaving Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, on Detroit’s north fringe, where he and his young partner, alto saxophonist Richie Cole, had just completed their opening night performance, Eddie may have had an ominous feeling, for he ended the set abruptly and called a cab. Jefferson, his road manager and a woman friend went outside; Cole and a fan followed soon after, an automobile parked in front of the club pulled up to the cab, the driver fired four shotgun blasts, one of which struck Eddie Jefferson in the chest, he staggered twenty-five feet and died, [Police later arrested 41-year-old Ameer Al-Meet Mujahiid, formerly William Perryman, a frustrated dancer and laid-off factory worker who had known Jefferson for about ten years in New York, but after a three-week trial, a jury brought in a verdict of not guilty], although the singer had been living in Queens, NY, he was buried in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, where he still had family," from Ira Steingroot’s liner notes for Prestige LP There I Go Again.

- PJazz musicians Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone) and Curtis Fuller (trombone) play together. "Pepper Adams (born Park Adams III on October 8, 1930 in Highland Park, Michigan - died on September 10, 1986 in Brooklyn, New York) was one of hard bop's most significant baritone saxophonists, his dark, hearty tone on the horn and driving rhythmic sense provided the antithesis to the lighter, floating (and consequently more popular) styles of Gerry Mulligan," from All About Jazz website. "Fuller, who grew up in Detroit, went to school with Paul Chambers and Donald Byrd, and while at Wayne State University, he was roommates with another jazz legend, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, in the Army, he played in a military band under the direction of Cannonball Adderley, right after moving to New York and recording Blue Train, he hooked up with Lester Young; Fuller recently found out about a live recording of the two performing at Birdland," from Denver Music article by Jon Solomon.
