The Black press, 1827-1890 : the quest for national identity

Martin E. Dann (Editor, Writer of introduction)
"The power and influence of the Black press have long been ignored, owing partly to the apathy of White America and partly to the loss of the actual papers; although a register for the period lists 575 Black papers, only a few remain. The material contained in this book is drawn from the collection of Black newspapers on microfilm located at the Schomburg Library of New York, one of the most exhaustive collections of such papers."--Publisher statement on back cover
