Greensboro News
William Allen White, editor of the Emporis, Kansas Gazette and one of the best known writers in America today, will deliver an address in Greensboro April 2nd, under the auspices of the Open Forum, which was recently organized here, according to word which was received by Mr. White last night.
On the same trip south, Mr. White will deliver the Weil lectures on citizenship at the University of North Carolina.
From page 2 of the Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, March 21, 1925. Couldn’t find an Emporis in Kansas; probably was meant to read Emporia. According to Copilot AI, William Allen White was an American journalist, newspaper editor, politician, author, and leader of the Progressive movement. He was born on February 10, 1868 in Emporia, Kansas, and died on January 29, 1944 in Emporia. White was known as the “Sage of Emporia” and was a spokesman for small-town America. He was a progressive Republican with a commitment to racial tolerance. White’s folksy wisdom and political commentaries were read and loved by million.
