A Detroit-area historical group is protesting a mayor's decision to stop it from sending out the latest issue of its publication, which delves into Ford Motor Co. founder Henry Ford's anti-Semitism. The story, which can be read online, highlights Ford's writings and views on Jews and explores how they still influence modern neo-Nazi groups. The Dearborn-based automaker disavowed its founder's views before he died in 1947 and sought to make amends with Jews and Israel. Andrew Kercher, assistant chief curator of the city's history museum, told The Detroit News that Ford is "obviously Dearborn's favorite son." McGraw, a Dearborn resident and former Detroit Free Press reporter, praised the community and O'Reilly's overall work as mayor.
