70 years old August 10. 1882 Our celebration is a
few days late because our special Shriners Daught

few encouraging souls felt could last more than
few months, this newspaper. sti not making enough
Of money to do the best job, Is nevertheless
mnity institution, doing Its job, the best 1t knows
how, under the existing conditions
This newspaper Is the beneficiary Of two fine
cities, with basically fine God-fearing fairinded
cihzens-who have seen the need for the Negro to
have community medium, which can express
curately the views, opinions and feelings Of a seq
ment Of the population which still does not have
complete freedom and opportunity.
When this newspaper works for the interests
Of the Negro minority It recognizes in doing that
1t also works for the best interests Of the total
munity, for until every single soul within COM
munity or any community for that matter has COM
pete freedom to contribute his best in mind labor

This Is why the Negro press was born in 1897
1875 years ago, and this Is why this paper was
established 20 years ago.
