Excerpt from Negro Journalism: An Essay on the History and Present, Conditions of the Negro PressThe main purpose of this essay is to show the various stages of development through which the Negro press has evolved with a View of furnishing a background for the better understanding of its present status. It is written, too, to present the problems and inherent possibilities of Negro Journalism, to point out the progress which is being made today, and to suggest future possibilities. If this attempt, amateur and incomplete as it may be, in any measure awakens an interest in the achievements and efforts of Negro news papers and magazines it has served its purpose.For the period up to 1890, the author frequently has referred to The afro-american Press and Its Editors by I. Garland Penn - a work which is an authority on the subject for the period covered by it. A large part of the biographical data and information on present day newspapers was obtained from the Negro Year Book and communications. I especially wish to thank those editors and publishers who so kindly gave me the information which I desired.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
