Our 'Newspaper Of The Week'
The Honorable J. D. Bagwell and
The Honorable G. W. Hardmond established
The Exodus as a weekly newspaper in 1880
in Washington, DC. Thousands of Our Beautiful
Black People wanted to escape, known as 'exodusters.'
The violence, mistreatment, oppressive Black Codes,
and unfair labor practices, and more, that Our
Community constantly faced led to the migration
from the South to Kansas and other areas
where they could live freely.
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.,
and USC Dental School Graduate.
