Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Kansas Blackman!

The Honorable W. D. Driver, stood tall for his 

people and began The Kansas Blackman in 1894. 

A mysterious fire made the Topeka paper move 

to Coffeyvillle the same year. The paper found 


it difficult to continue and closed in 1896.





Black Newspapers History Month 

celebrated in January was 

founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.

in 2025 to acknowledge, praise, and respect 

the Publishers, Editors, Reporters, 

Typesetters, Secretaries, Agents, 

Distributors, Newsstands, Paperboys, 

and all of the the Team Members, 

over the many decades, necessary 

to produce and disseminate to Our

Black Beautiful Populations the needed 

paper ( and now digital) instruments 

to inform, inspire, and promote literacy, 

so that Our People can make better 

decisions, remember Our Great Histories, 

to keep Our People up on current events,

to engage our populations to organize, 

provide tips and methods to stay safe 

in potentially-hostile environments, 

and create mechanisms to construct 

Our Enterprises for Our Outstanding Futures.

Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Birmingham Truth!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Birmingham Truth!



Founded by philanthropist, prominent educator, social worker, 

wife and mother of four children, and journalist 

fighter for Our Beautiful Black People, 

The Honorable Carrie A. Tuggle in 1902, through 

her The Truth Publishing Company, used the 

paper as a soap box to boldly stand on and 

'tell it on the mountain, and tell it to Our Communities'

that we will not give up in the face of 

adversity and oppression!


Its run ended in 1910.

Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Exodus!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Exodus!



The Honorable J. D. Bagwell and 

The Honorable G. W. Hardmond established 

The Exodus as a weekly newspaper in 1880 

in Washington, DC. Thousands of Our Beautiful 

Black People wanted to escape, known as 'exodusters.'  

The violence, mistreatment, oppressive Black Codes, 

and unfair labor practices, and more, that Our 

Community constantly faced led to the migration 

from the South to Kansas and other areas 

where they could live freely.

founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.

Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Detroit Tribune!

    

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Detroit Tribune!





The Honorable J. Edward McCall established



the Detroit Tribune in 1933 after he and his family 


were run out of Montgomery, Alabama by the 

KKK because he really started to get under their 

skins by becoming effective and popular with 

Our Beautiful Black People in striving for 

equal rights which we deserve. In Detroit, 

he continued to light fires under our Beautiful 

People to organize and take actions in voting, 

shopping where we are welcome, becoming 

the top students in our classes, and showing 

upstanding morality in all that we do!

However, with advancing age, in 1945 to 1946, 

the family worked out the details to sell

the great newspaper.

The Honorable James Edward McCall 


is also fondly remembered as a 


total and gifted poet and



an eye-opening political cartoonist!
