As part of our mission to preserve and provide access to the historical record, our digital collections include materials that reflect the time and context in which they were created. Some content may include language, images, or perspectives that users may find upsetting or offensive. These materials are presented in their original form to support research, education, and historical understanding. PPLD does not endorse the perspectives of the authors or publishers represented. PPLD does not modify, edit, or remove articles, photographs, or other items, in our digital collections.
