Jersey Justice: The Story of the Trenton Six

Acknowledgments

A C K N O W L E D G M E N T S As I was beginning my study of the Trenton Six, Ross Knepper and Jenae Lowe provided a much-needed boost. Ross also gave technical assistance above and beyond the call of duty. The staff of the Law Library of the New Jersey State Library always addressed my requests cheerfully and quickly throughout my six weeks of work there. Julie Herrada, curator of the Labadie Collection of Social Protest Material in the Special Collections Library of the University of Michigan, deserves my thanks. Wendy M. Nardi, curator of the wonderful and amazing Trentoniana Collection at the Trenton Public Library, generously contributed her time and knowledge. William A. Reuben, who died in 2004, began his career as an investigative journalist working for the National Guardian, writing a series of articles on the Trenton Six. His interviews and analysis from 1948 to 1951 provided much material that would otherwise have been impossible to recover at this date. Robert Shogan, journalist and author, told me the story of Irving Feiner, which he reported for the Syracuse University student newspaper. The historian Jack Washington furnished helpful pointers, while Rachel Friedman and Willa Speiser assisted with much-needed editing. Special thanks to my literary agent, Ron Goldfarb, who found a home for my book. And my gratitude goes most of all to Marlie Wasserman, who believed strongly that the story of the Trenton Six deserved to be told. ix Jersey Justice  ...
