In 100 Years and More, we travel back through time by opening the newspapers of the past. Each episode, we pull headlines from 100 years ago, or more and stitch together reports from rival papers, city desks, and wire stories to reconstruct a single, gripping moment in history.

In this episode, we dive into Detroit’s Purple Gang, one of the most notorious crime syndicates of the Prohibition era. Using contemporary newspaper accounts, we trace how a group of young street operators rose to power, dominated bootlegging routes, clashed with rivals, and drew national attention. By comparing coverage from multiple newspapers, we separate rumour from fact and reveal how the story unfolded as readers experienced it at the time.

What you’ll see in this episode:
Headlines and reports from Detroit and national newspapers
How Prohibition fueled the gang’s rise
Rivalries, violence, and public reaction—told through the press
