Many important Americans, including W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and Frederick Douglass, had ties to newspapers that advocated for equal rights, discussed issues central to the lives of African Americans, and reported on stories the mainstream press refused to cover. The legacy of the African American press is one that carries on today. This essential volume reveals the black press's role in the abolition of slavery, the establishment of civil rights, desegregation, and today's fight against racism and prejudice.

      Grades 7-12 Today, news is only a click or tweet away, but it hasn't always been this easy to access. These entries in The Fourth Estate: Journalism in North America series (8 titles) reveal the evolution of news media. Each thorough book opens with a history of the topic and continues with chapters on key storytellers, breaking headlines, and the topic's lasting impact on journalism. The African American Press describes the 1827 founding of Freedom's Journal, the nation's first newspaper owned and operated by African Americans, and its influence on successive African American newspapers and the abolitionist movement. Numerous archival photos and related profiles of influential newsmakers and technology add important details. Collectively, the volumes give students a comprehensive history of journalism.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
