John Charles Black Newspaper Articles

This section includes a small fraction of newspaper articles referencing John Charles Black during his lifetime. John was fixated on collecting articles written about him and John’s Collection at the Abraham Lincoln Public Library and Museum contains a significant number of such articles.

Those few that have been included in this section are insightful because they typically reflect a point of view on a particular topic or represent a short speech.

This section also includes newspaper articles taken from a local Danville paper. Again, John’s activities were frequently the subject of such local articles and the handful included in this section are merely representative of the local media following.
