The Baltimore Afro-American, 1892-1950 Howard Farrar Greenwood Publishing Group 220 Pages. $59.95.
Relatively little has been written about the struggle and rise to prominence of America's most prodigious black newspapers. Now, with the publication of "The Baltimore Afro-American, 1892-1950," we are provided a much-needed glimpse into an area of the past that has often been swept to the sidelines of journalism history. This is not merely the story of a newspaper that dared to call itself The Afro-American in the 19th Century--a term even W.E.B. Du Bois eschewed--but an account of institutionalized racism in Baltimore and, indeed, throughout much of U.S. society.
