Definition

  • Black newspapers have existed in the United States since 1827, reaching the height of their power and influence from 1910 to 1950 when they played a major role in setting the stage for the civil rights movement. Then, they began a rapid decline in circulation and never again were the force they once were. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media; Black Press]
