Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'
The Honorable L. H. Harrison both published and
edited this weekly in Birmingham, Alabama
starting in 1907. It was chockfull of stories
and events that mattered to Our People. Lasting
only two years, it closed in 1909. The Honorable
Harrison also published the weekly
Wide-Awake newspaper.
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.
