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 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.

is:

...The Gold Dollar!



The Honorable Reverend Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist Minister 

Photo of acob Fontaine, editor of Austin's first black newspaper, The Gold Dollar

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!'
