Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...Speakin' Out News!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...Speakin' Out News!

Not knowing that it would become the 

longest-running Big, Black, and Beautiful newspaper 

in Huntsville, and northern Alabama, 

the Jackson State University. alum,

the Honorable William D. Smothers, at his 

kitchen table in Decatur, founded and still 

publishes the Speakin' Out News, starting in 1980.

Debuting as a monthly, then twice monthly, 

before finally becoming a weekly,

the paper is integral to the business and legal

communities because of its forthrightness and longevity.

Ensuring journalistic excellence and relevancy 

with every Wednesday delivery, the Associate 

Publisher and Managing Editor, 

The Honorable Jemeana Smothers Robinson, also a 

Jackson State U. alum, is consistently able to 

put out quality product with the help of 

her more than capable staff.

Making significant history every week and

enlarging both their print and media footprints,

they are positively affecting present and future 

generations and are cementing their legacies!

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.
