Summary: | "We wish to plead our own cause. Too long have others spoken for us." These words are from the front page of Freedom's Journal , the first African-American newspaper published in the United States, in 1827, a milestone event in the history of an oppressed people. From then on a prodigious and hitherto almost unknown cascade of newspapers, magazines, letters, and other literary, historical, and popular writing poured from presses chronicling black life in America. |
