- Sheep Waiting for a Ferry on the Columbia River in Oregon, 1923-1924 - Beginning in 1920, the Henry Ford-owned weekly newspaper <em>The Dearborn Independent</em> ran a series of front-page articles that denounced all things Jewish. Though the series ended in 1922, the weekly continued anti-Jewish diatribes in other articles, most notably those attacking Aaron Sapiro, a farm cooperative organizer. This photograph, though it appears harmless, was part of that campaign.
