Washington, D.C. 1960-80. Specimen. Odd shs, Class B Common Stock, Foreign Share Certificate. Orange. U.S. capital building. Rare stock certificate from this famous company. Facsimile signature of Katherine Graham. In 1963, Philip Graham committed suicide and Katharine Graham assumed control of the Washington Post Company. From 1969 to 1979 she was also publisher of the newspaper. From 1973-1991 Katharine Graham, known to many as "Kay," was board chairman and chief executive officer of the Washington Post Company, and remained Chairman of the Executive Committee until her death. Under Katharine Graham's leadership, The Washington Post became known for its hard-hitting investigations, including the publication of the secret Pentagon Papers against the advice of lawyers and against government directives, followed by the Woodward and Bernstein investigation of the Watergate scandal. For these reasons, she and the newspaper are sometimes credited with bringing about the fall of Richard Nixon. Rare stock certificate from this famous company. ABNC. XF.
