Black Newspapers History Month!... 'Newspaper Of The Week!'...The Kansas Blackman! 1890s

   

Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'

is:

...The Kansas Blackman!

The Honorable W. D. Driver, stood tall for his 

people and began The Kansas Blackman in 1894. 

A mysterious fire made the Topeka paper move 

to Coffeyvillle the same year. The paper found 


it difficult to continue and closed in 1896.





Black Newspapers History Month 

celebrated in January 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.
