    1. Fulton Tower Prison
    2. I searched for Fulton in the "American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project,1936-1940" at <http://rs6.loc.gov/ammem/wpaquery.html> and got the following: Submitted by Theodore Poston ANGELO HERNDON COMES BACK FROM GEORGIA References: Personal Interview (August 7, 1934) Memory refreshed from Amsterdam News files {Begin handwritten} New York {End handwritten} {Begin handwritten} 1938-9 {End handwritten} He was tired. Very tired and very sick. His sagging muscles, pallid face, drooping shoulders and nervous fingers proclaimed it. And as the train headed for Pennsylvania Station where 6,000 people waited impatiently to hail him, Angelo Herndon turned wearily to the reporter who had met him at Manhattan Transfer. "Oh, the Amsterdam News, I remember it. It was one of the five papers which came to me regularly at Fulton Tower prison, but which they never let me read. The Daily Worker, Amsterdam News, New York Times, Atlanta World and Wall Street Journal." He smiled slowly. "No, they wouldn't let me read even the Wall Street Journal. They poured ink on it." - ----------------------------- What was the Fulton Tower Prison he was referring to? Glenn Busbin http://members.aol.com/Busbin8088/home.html
