Helen Marie Black
- ... that besides reporting on Aimee Semple McPherson's visit to Denver in 1921, Helen Marie Black arranged publicity stunts to show off the evangelist's preaching and faith healing skills? Source: "In order to prolong the interest, everyday she brazenly proposed publicity stunts to the pretty evangelist" (Women of Consequence)

- Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
- Template:Ping looking to put this in prep 5 or 6 for March 8, but I ran into a discrepancy. The hook says "arranged" but the article said "proposed", which are not necessarily the same. I can propose that the US government grants me a million dollars for comic book research - doesn't mean that they'll do it ;-) So my challenge is that the article does not say that those stunts actually happened?

- I copyedited the article based on the source. After proposing the stunts to the evangelist, Black went ahead and arranged them, as the source states: "First, she invited hospitals to bring patients to church for Aimee McPherson to heal – more than one hundred were carried in. Aimee McPherson later claimed that 'practically all' were healed". Yoninah (talk) 17:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
