Foreword by Lerone Bennett and Valerie Gerrard Browne
In the second volume of Bridges of Memory, historian Timuel D. Black Jr. continues his conversations with African-Americans who migrated to Chicago from the South in search of economic, social, and cultural opportunities. With his trademark gift for interviewing, Black—himself the son of first-generation migrants to Chicago--guides these individual discussions with ease, resulting in first-person narratives that are informative and entertaining.
In March of 1827 the nation's first black newspaper appeared in New York City--to counter attacks on blacks by the city's other papers. From this signal event, The African American Newspaper traces the evolution of the black newspaper--and its ultimate decline--for more than 160 years until the end of the twentieth century.
Edited by Albert Blaustein and Robert L. Zangrando
