Monday, November 11, 1901. Racism and slander.

Voters in Alabama approved a new state constitution that disenfranchised African Americans  through procedural means, a model that would be followed by other Southern states.

Ioseb "Koba" Jughashvili, known to history as Stalin, went on trial before the Tiflis (Tbilisi) branch of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, to investigate slander against party leaders. They expelled him from membership.

France and the Ottoman Empire resumed diplomatic relations.

Magda Goebbels, wife of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, was born Johanna Magdalena Ritschel in Berlin. She and her husband poisoned their six children before committing suicide on May 1, 1945.

She was born and raised Catholic, but converted to Protestantism to marry industrialist Günther Quandt, with whom she had two children.  She cheated on him so they divorced.  She later married Joseph. She also cheated on him.  Joseph cheated on her.

A life of total betrayal.
