520 In spite of the historical conditions of poverty,
illiteracy, and fear that have prevailed in Mississippi,
blacks in the state have struggled to create a viable
press that would record their world view. From
Reconstruction to the present, the black press has been a
major institution in the effort to secure freedom and
equality. This work, the first complete treatment of the
journalism experience of blacks in a single state,
documents all the known examples of the black press in
Mississippi from 1865 to 1985, including newspapers,
newsletters, magazines, and radio and television. Born
during slavery - when blacks exchanged information through
music, myth, and religion - and growing out of necessity
during the Civil War, the black press in Mississippi
developed into a conservative, marginally relevant
institution by the turn of the century. Julius Thompson
examines its period of vigorous growth in the twenties,
its decline during the depression, and its precarious
balance in the 1960s: if black press publications and
reporters appeared to be too conservative, the civil
rights movement denounced them; if they appeared to be too
radical, the police, Ku Klux Klan, and White Citizens'
Council abused them, sometimes with arson, bombings, or
beatings.
520 8 All black journalists had reason to fear the state's
Sovereignty Commission, which could and did curb and
coerce the press. Though more black newspapers existed in
the state in the 1960s than at any time since the twenties,
the decade of struggle took its toll. With the death of
Martin Luther King and the freedom movement's geographic
shift to the North, the era gave way to disillusionment in
the seventies. The black press in Mississippi continues to
struggle, week by week, to stay afloat, Thompson says,
while the white press - competing successfully for
advertising dollars - maintains a generally conservative
stance on the social, political, and economic matters of
greatest interest to blacks. He concludes that the
challenge that confronted the black press in the last
century looms into the next.
