Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'
The Honorable Reverend Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist Minister
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!'
Publication was stopped 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
Beautiful Black 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.
The Founder of Black Newspapers History Month,
