In 1952, the Pittsburgh Courier hired Zora Neale Hurston to cover the explosive murder trial of Ruby McCollum, a wealthy African-American wife who shot and killed her white lover, a prominent physician and recently elected state senator. Hurston wrote that the story leading up to the murder--filled with a scandalous interracial affair, drugs, and a fortune built on illicit gambling--"had all the drama and varied play of human emotions that fill the pages of great literature from Plutarch to Shakespeare."
