Summary

"Negro Journalism: An Essay on the History and Present Conditions of the Negro…," by George W. Gore Jr. recounts the chronicles and progression of the Negro Press in America, from its roots in the 1800s to the 1920s. The book examines the origins, growth, and relevance of African American newspapers, and shines a light on their role in Black society and culture. Beginning with key publications and editors, like Frederick Douglass's "North Star," it analyzes struggles, achievements, and the influence education and resourcefulness, have on the growth of journalism in the Negro community.
