    New York Times Runs Very Belated Obituary of Charlotta Bass, Progressive Party Vice-Presidential Nominee in 1952

    On September 7, the New York Times ran an obituary https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/04/obituaries/charlotta-bass-vice-president-overlooked.html?smid=em-share for Charlotta Bass, who was the Progressive Party’s vice-presidential nominee in 1952, and the first African-American woman to be on the ballot anywhere for vice-president. The New York Times has recently been running belated obituaries for people who did not get a Times obituary when they died, but the newspaper now believes that they should have had such obituaries.

    Bass died April 12, 1969. Thanks to Irv Sutley for the link.
