Bess Furman

  • “[On a protest:] ... a government crew had come to demolish a Pennsylvania Avenue building occupied by veterans who would not leave peaceably. Police had to carry the occupants out one by one, and it took two hours to do it. By noon, feeling was as high as the hands of the clock.”

Bess Furman, U.S. journalist

(1894 - 1969)

Full name: Bess Furman Armstrong.
