ctfl units. All these- gj-oups and
factions, have ffeured in great
political, social and military con
flicts and crises,—crises both or
dering tlv.m and being ordered
Jay them—and these crises of life
and death can be held responsible
for the important part that jour
nalism—the prined word—plays
in the life of all paoplc.~~
Th|e Firit Paper
The first printed periodicals Of
England’s domestic news, grew
out of the struggle between Chas.
I and Parliament, culminating in
the Civil War of 164i.
As the questions out of which
the American Revolution, sprang
began to engross the colonists, it
came to be seen on all sides that
the several colonies had a com
mon cause and that the press was
a most valuable and indispensa
ble auxiliary of this cause, and
the newspaper was recognized as
“the instrument most potential
to secui’e unity of opinion rand
cpncert of action amoifg the col
onies.” Even the best equipped
armies could not win the war a-
had not been whipped into a unit
ed front by the newspapars of
the period.
It was social crisis—the strug
gle for the abolition, of slavery—
which also brought the Negro
newspapers into being. The Ne-
of the Crisis, well puts it, was
“borti of a need for voicing pr-
test'*against wrongs and proscrip
tions, first devoting itself to the
task of making Negroes free mon
and citizens anr from that day to
this fighting th* battles'necessary
to securing for them the ettjoy-
ment of the rights of citizenship.”

When the first Negro paper
was published 110 years ago, the
Negro in Awlerica found himself
in a class by himself because he
was; '
(1) Slave and still held in bon
dage ;
(2) Negro and noticeable dif
ferent from the dominant
group;
(3) Held inferior and discrim
inated agrainst whether
slave or free.
Today h*, is a special 'interest
group, because:
(1) He is still economically en-
slavied—denied Job opportunity
e\erywhere and still ibarred by
the rank and fije ofAmerican or-
ganiaed labor.
(2) He is still noticeably diff
erent in color from the dominant ^
group.
(3) He is ghettoed in nesiden-
tial districts and diapr.lniinated a-
gainst, by both government and
private enterprise, by » organized
religion, and by other minority
groups; he is denied the full
rights to protest personal and col-
lective wrongs in some parts ’ of
the «ountry.
All these factors—in their
countless outward and visible ma.
nifestations—hiave been and arc
responsible for a racial press.
