Say His Name: Harold Haley
30th October 2020
The New York Times is committed to bringing you almost as much late-breaking Angela Davis news as its stop-the-presses Emmett Till coverage. Angela Davis’s name has come up in the NYT 48 times over the last year, almost once per week.
Angela’s looking pretty white in this picture.
In contrast, the last time the Times has mentioned the name of Harold Haley, the judge whose head was blown off by the shotgun Davis had purchased two days earlier, was 1986.
Since then, the Times has written about Davis 397 times without mentioning the murdered judge by name once.
Harold Haley. Say his name.
