- Demand for Retraction, Dated 06 January 1925, in Preparation for Henry Ford vs Aaron Sapiro Trial - In 1925, Aaron Sapiro--a farm cooperative organizer--filed a libel lawsuit against Henry Ford and his associates for articles published in the <em>The Dearborn Independent</em>. The articles attacked Sapiro, claiming his work with the agricultural community was part of a Jewish conspiracy. This was not the first time the Ford-owned <em>The Dearborn Independent</em> had attacked Jews: from 1920-1922 the paper ran a series of front-page anti-Semitic articles. During the ensuing trial, Ford--uneasy about the possibility of testifying and fearing the loss of his reputation--decided to settle. In 1927, Ford released a written apology, which claimed he was ill-informed about the paper's action, and formally recanted the charges against Jews made by his paper.
