I welcome additions and comments on this new article. Thank you Cullen328 ( talk) 06:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I am finding some sources calling it the "Ford Massacre" which appear mostly to be Communist Party sources, or mentions that it was the term used by the "radical press". So I am not opposed to mentioning that as an alternate name, but think the current name best meets WP:NPOV. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:31, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
this is not well referenced, the language is questionable. Unemployed Councils and the United Auto Workers were not made up of all Communists, and not "controlled" by some overarching Communist "menace". I think the article would be stronger if the ideological tint were removed. Organizing may have been helped by Communist Party groups, but organizing is not something cut and dried to be controlled by one group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.38.214.164 ( talk) 00:16, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
I have a book source: "Henry Ford: A Biography" by William Adams Simonds published in 1946, saying on pages 192 and 193 that an investigation revealed none of the protesters at this event were ever employed at any Ford plant (unsure of whether or not this is true). The book also says that Bennett attempted to negotiate with the protesters, was knocked unconscious by a rock, then his 2 bodyguards started shooting in response to Bennett being knocked unconscious (this one in particular makes more sense than Bennett driving up in a car out of nowhere for the sole purpose of shooting a gun at protesters).
I don't know where my source got its info, but my source and the source that makes up 90% of this article's citations apparently have 2 polar opposite biases. Someone willing to do more research on the march should find the truth of this, and update the page to reflect it. Acronach ( talk) 00:01, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
