Lehigh Valley Then: 9/11 survivors relieved at bin Laden’s death; ‘Shadgate’; racial tension at Easton High | This week in local history (May 2-8)
Today 6:59 AM affiliate The Express-Times and its predecessors from 10, 25, 50, 100 and 150 years ago. These stories were pulled from microfilm at the Easton Area Public Library.
This week in Lehigh Valley history, the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011 brought some closure to families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks. Racial tension at Easton Area High School in 1971 sparked a conversation that seems all too familiar today.
In 1996, the odd story of “Shadgate” made waves at a Delaware River fishing contest. A man who ran his mouth in 1921 talked his way into jail. And in 1871, a railroad magnate’s full speech to the Pennsylvania Senate took up the entire front page.
