Newspaper Article, "Old-Fashioned Dance to Stay in Dearborn...Dearborn Backs Up School Dance," 1926

As Henry Ford extended his traditional American dance classes to local Dearborn schoolchildren, some parents grew alarmed--they weren't sure they approved of boys and girls dancing together. A dance demonstration by the children soon set most of the parents' minds at ease. They quickly realized the benefit of having their children learn these old-time dances--and the good manners that went along with them.

"Design and Structural Features of the Tucker," October 1947

Preston Tucker previewed his all-new Tucker 48 sedan with a massive marketing campaign. Articles and advertisements heralded the car's many features said to improve performance, safety, and economy. Some of these claims were premature. The hydraulic torque-converter transmission and disc brakes described in this article, for example, never actually made it into Tucker's production cars.

The International Jew - The World's Foremost Problem, Volume 2, "Jewish Activities in the United States," 1921

Henry Ford published the weekly The Dearborn Independent from 1919 to 1927 as a forum for his views. Between 1920 and 1922, the paper ran a series of front-page articles (penned by its editor, William Cameron) entitled The International Jew that denounced all things Jewish. Many of these articles were later compiled, reprinted, and distributed in a four-volume set. These defamatory articles exposed Ford's deep anti-Semitic sentiments and sadly legitimized these prejudices to hundreds of thousands of readers. Though Ford later apologized and printed a retraction, this episode forever tarnished the influential automaker's reputation.
