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

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Colored Citizen!


Kern County, California saw a real gem in the 

newspaper, The Colored Citizen, when the 

four-pager premiered in April of 1914. The 

nationally-famous and charismatic civic leader 

and preacher, 

The Honorable Reverend Dr. J. Gordon McPherson 

spared no effort in empowering, educating, 

and enabling Our People in Bakersfield. 

It is unknown as to when its operations ceased.

Black Newspapers History Month 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.
