Known for her trademark white carnation corsage, Brown was the matriarch of Omaha's Near North Side--a historically black part of town--and an iconic city leader. Her remarkable life, a product of the Reconstruction era and Jim Crow, reflects a larger American history that includes the Great Migration, the Red Scare of the post-World War era, civil rights and black power movements, desegregation, and urban renewal. Within the context of African American and women's history studies, Amy Helene Forss's Black Print with a White Carnation examines the impact of the black press through the narrative of Brown's life and work. Forss draws on more than 150 oral histories, numerous black newspapers, and government documents to illuminate African American history during the political and social upheaval of the twentieth century. During Brown's fifty-one-year tenure, the Omaha Star became a channel of communication between black and white residents of the city, as well as an arena for positive weekly news in the black community. Brown and her newspaper led successful challenges to racial discrimination, unfair employment practices, restrictive housing covenants, and a segregated public school system, placing the woman with the white carnation at the center of America's changing racial landscape."--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "A biography of Mildred Dee Brown, cofounder of the "Omaha Star," the longest-running African American newspaper founded by a black woman"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Brown, Mildred Dee,|d1905-1989.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2011080090 600 17 Brown, Mildred Dee,|d1905-1989.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1923985 630 00 Omaha star.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2013039323 630 7 Omaha star.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/2058139 650 0 African American women newspaper editors|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2013001909|zNebraska |zOmaha|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79045127- 781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001237 650 0 Newspaper editors|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh90003323|zNebraska|zOmaha|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79045127-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 African American newspapers|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001873|zNebraska|zOmaha.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79045127-781 650 7 African American women newspaper editors.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1896514 650 7 Newspaper editors.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1037053 650 7 African American newspapers.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799278 651 7 Nebraska|zOmaha.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204995 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 830 0 Women in the West.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n86749718 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=664739|zOnline eBook.
