ft'' j?i a \ o The Winston-Salem Chronicle will follow in the ~ traditidh of the Black Press by keeping the community informed,of what goes on in the community and the t hings outside that affect it. The Chronicle will not make the news, but simply report it. We wiirdo this without regard to any special interest. We are deeply concerned in seeing that the people of Winston-Salem get the news ?^hat they both need-and want to know about. * ~ The Chronicle is founded in the spirit of being m-: rianonHpnt nf Qnv cranial intoroaf drAiin onrl infanrlc f/% v?vpvi ivtvi I V VI Uii J UpVVlMA ill Wi vuv vup^ OI1U IU remain an objective reporter of news and events that affect the community. John B. Russwurm and Samuel E. Cornish founded Freedom's Journal in Now York rify In thp ft ret rggng fif ftIP nPwspnpAtfrntiggwiirm, tha second black- graduate of an American college, Rowdoin, said: " ~ "o"" " "Education being an object of highest importance to the welfare of society, we shall endeavor to present just an 1 adequate view of it, and to urge upon our brethren the necessity and expediency of training their children, while young, to habits of industry..." From that beginning the black press developed into a vital institution in the black community. Besides revealing, protesting, and imploring, the Black Press has cultivated self-esteen, recognized blacks foi achievements, served as a conduit to education* and promoted the general self-improvement of blacks. Through this projection of the positive side of the black community blacks have begun to assert themselves in a manner that is worthy of the praise bestowed -upon them. ? Direction, guidance and the promotion of education, it lias been said, has been the cornerstone of-the Black Press throughout its history. Gunnar Myrdal in his 'American Dilemma" published more than 30 years ago said, "The Negro Press is the greatest single power in the Negro race." This represented a summing uf t)f Tiis appraisal ol the Black Press, wrote Sherman Briscoe in a recent article-its protests, its pleadings, its advocacy, and above all its definition of Black Americans to Black Americans themselves. And suit remains today .There are nearly 300 black newspapers and magazines with, a combined circulation of more than lour million carrying on the tradition. We encourage community response to our newspaper and welcome your comments. We are committed to the progress and unity of the people of Winston>Salem. We stand ready to serve the community as an instrument to unity and progress and solicit your support in making this a reality, s The Winston*Salem Chronicle will like to pay tribute to all the people of this Great City of Winsjton-Salem. This city hasiong been known for her many innovative activities and we are glad to be a part of it. Ours is a black weekly newspaper. We are going to be in competition with no one. We hope to be a complement to the existing fine newspapers thajt Winston-Salem already has. We are familiar with the fine quality of the award winning Winston-Salem Journal Sentinel. We know that newspapers achieve their reputation by being fair and objective to all sides. And we intend to do just that. But our desire for fairness must not blind us to the issues that concern the people of Winston-Salem, PRnPriPlllv thp hlark nnmrrmniHoc nf thic Tf ic nnf J vxv> vwiiiiltulllVIVU VTA VII1U VtVJ I XV 1U IIVV our intention to tell anybody how to be black. Most of our readers,have been black all their lives and they probably "do not need anybody to tell them how to be black. But wg hope to serve as a voice for the voiceless, hope for (the) those that may have decided that there is no hope for them. And if we can, we shall endeavor to be a sort of light-house on the sea that provides hope and encouragement at a time of shipwreck. We cannot do all this by ourselves alone. We need and seek the cooperation of all the people of Winston-Salem, especially that of the members of black communities. And if we can become a unifying factor here in Winstdp^Salem among the members of the Winston-Salem black communities, then our efforts will have been well rewarded. - > We know that a new newspaper is like tears in the eyes " M ? 1.1 x ? a. *?i?? ui a urnu uuii a inuuier cannot see wiuioui looKing again. In the event that you look again at us after this issue, and we hope you do, you will find in us a newspaper that is dedicated to all human excellence and religion and a newspaper that will be concerned enough .. to ask questions when it feels that there is a need to ask questions and newspaper that will praise when praise is earned. We must serve notice now to all the divisive elements in the black communities that we do not ' subscribe to any of their codes. We intend to be WinstonSalem Chronicle-an - independent newspaper. . * o * WINSTON-SALEM CHRONICLE * ~ A Warnh Stop, Look and Li v > Or ' Open Al The Life You Savi ^ i&jjt^^^M .1 Mf't--j( j&JM <W<r "r M: ID" ?8k^H * ;i^ * y^%:^vH ?. wSe^E* flnn ^p|g|# JBBB ^Myjp ji I IL~ IrKh^h ^h.
