Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Washington Daily American!


Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Washington Daily American!




Published and edited daily in Washington, DC 

by The Honorable Eugene C. Davidson 

starting in 1918, it was called the 

'Oldest Colored Daily in the U. S.' 

The newspaper was holding it down 

until it closed in 1925.






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.




The Founder of Black Newspapers History Month,

Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.,

is also a Historical Newspaper enthusiast

and USC Dental School Graduate.
