Note: the above link reproduces an article published in 1932 and therefore still in copyright. I have consequently removed the entire section, The Washington Courthouse Riots, which was pasted in verbatim from the source.

Further issues

The rest of this article is clearly pasted from a variety of sources which are off-line. Many of them may well be out of copyright, but it is plagiarism not to acknowledge clearly that the material is incorporated verbatim. Because of the type of material pasted, the style of the article is very unencyclopedic and needs serious cleanup and copyediting. Voceditenore (talk) 09:55, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have assumed that the third paragraph is a quote, since the footnote says "quoted from", so I have placed it in <blockquote></blockquote> Please fix this if I was not accurate. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 21:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
