Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Colored Citizen (Kansas)!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Colored Citizen!

Birthed in Fort Scott, Kansas by The 

Honorable William Eagleson and his brother, 

The Honorable James Eagleson, it was 

entirely written and edited by them, 

starting in 1878. It is unknown whose 

printing press they used. The town of 

Nicodemus, about five hours away from 

Fort Scott, was incorporated in 1877, 

and became the first all-Black town west 

of the Mississippi using the Homestead 

Act of 1862. The residents of the new 

town were likely happy and anticipating

to see the new weekly paper arrive in their area!

However, because of difficulties in 

their supply chain, they closed their doors in 1880.

Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'..The Gold Dollar!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Gold Dollar!

The Honorable Reverend Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist Minister 

and entrepreneur, started Austin's first Beautiful 

Black Newspaper in 1876. His paper would 

offer to find relatives that were separated from the

brutal enslavement of Our Beautiful Black People, 

while also giving 'moral instruction in raising 

Our Children properly, so they won't be hung!'

Publication was stopped in 1880.

Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Delaware Reporter!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Delaware Reporter!

The Honorable J. Alexis DuBois conquered all odds 

and created the first Beautiful Black weekly of the 

city, The Delaware Reporter, in Wilmington, 

Delaware, commencing in 1940. 

Because of the small Beautiful Black Population in Delaware at the time, 

the paper only lasted until the mid-1940s.

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

    

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Montgomery Emancipator!

The Honorable J. Edward McCall established The Emancipator after 

he was blinded as a consequence of catching 

typhoid fever while a student at Howard U., 

but he did not let that stop him one bit because 

he promised to go back to Montgomery, Alabama 

and raise his voice for civil rights, along with 

his wife, The  Honorable Margaret McCall, 

and he was seen as a rabble rouser by the local 

KKK so they ran them out of town, 

but no matter, he and his wife relocated to 

Detroit, Michigan, and he started the 

successful Detroit Tribune 

in 1933! 

He was also celebrated 

as a popular poet!

And he came up with

political cartoons!
