Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...Wide-Awake!!

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Wide-Awake!

Not one to take what the oppressors do lying 

down, The Honorable L. H. Harrison stood on 

his literary  'soap box,' The Wide-Awake newspaper 

and wrote and published what Our Beautiful 

Black People needed to hear! The slogan of the

paper, borrowed from the great warrior Hannibal 

who crossed the Alps said, 

"Find a Way or Make One, for Marching Must Be Done!" 

This periodical lasted to around 1906.

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.
