A RICH HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE The Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper is the nation’s fourth oldest surviving African-American newspaper in the country. What began in 1895 as a two- page church bulletin created by co-founders George P. Stewart and Will Porter now hails as one of the top African-American publications in the United States. In 1897, the newspaper’s co-founders expanded their successful newssheet into a weekly newspaper. The earliest existing issues of the Recorder date back to 1899 – the same year that Porter sold his share of the paper to Stewart. William G. Mays, the paper’s current publisher, purchased The Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper in 1990, entrusting his niece, Carolene Mays to serve as president and general manager. Carolene gave the paper new direction and a blueprint for success for more than 12 years before returning to community service in local government. Experienced journalist and longtime Recorder employee, Shannon Williams succeeded Carolene as president and general manager. One of the initial things Williams did in her role as president was form the Recorder Media group which houses the Recorder, its sister publication the Indiana Minority Business Magazine and serves as an in-house marketing/ communications firm.

  • Negroes Are Different in Dixie: the Press, Perception, and Negro League Baseball in the Jim Crow South, 1932 by Thomas Aiello Research Essay ______
    NEGROES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIXIE: THE PRESS, PERCEPTION, AND NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL IN THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1932 BY THOMAS AIELLO RESEARCH ESSAY ______________________________________________ “Only in a Negro newspaper can a complete coverage of ALL news effecting or involving Negroes be found,” argued a Southern Newspaper Syndicate advertisement. “The good that Negroes do is published in addition to the bad, for only by printing everything fit to read can a correct impression of the Negroes in any community be found.”1 Another argued that, “When it comes to Negro newspapers you can’t measure Birmingham or Atlanta or Memphis Negroes by a New York or Chicago Negro yardstick.” In a brief section titled “Negroes Are Different in Dixie,” the Syndicate’s evaluation of the Southern and Northern black newspaper readers was telling: Northern Negroes may ordain it indecent to read a Negro newspaper more than once a week—but the Southern Negro is more consolidated. Necessity has occasioned this condition. Most Southern white newspapers exclude Negro items except where they are infamous or of a marked ridiculous trend… While his northern brother is busily engaged in ‘getting white’ and ruining racial consciousness, the Southerner has become more closely knit.2 The advertisement was designed to announce and justify the Atlanta World’s reformulation as the Atlanta Daily World, making it the first African-American daily. This fact alone probably explains the advertisement’s “indecent” comment, but its “necessity” argument seems far more legitimate.3 For example, the 1932 Monroe Morning World, a white daily from Monroe, Louisiana, provided coverage of the black community related almost entirely to crime and church meetings.

  • 1900-1920 Indianapolis at the Time of the First Great Migration
    Indianapolis at the Time of the Great Migration, 1900-1920 by Carolyn M. Brady Copyright 1996 C.M. Brady http://www.carolynbrady.com/indymigration.html Originally published in August 1996 (No. 65) Black History News & Notes, a newsletter of the Indiana Historical Society. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, the number of African Americans in Indianapolis more than doubled, growing from 15,931 in 1900 to 34,678 in 1920. This increase was a result of the Great Migration, the movement of large numbers of African Americans from the South to the North in search of work and opportunity. Indianapolis did not see as great an influx of new arrivals as did cities such as Detroit and Chicago, but the growth of the black population would change life in the Hoosier capital.(1) African Americans in southern states heard about opportunities in the North through labor recruiters, black-run newspapers, relatives, and friends. Besides the lure of jobs in the North, a number of factors pushed many African Americans to leave the South. Between 1900 and 1920 natural disasters in the South, such as floods, drought, and boll weevils, destroyed the crops that many African-American farmers depended on for their livelihood. Although racial segregation and discrimination existed in northern states like Indiana, the Jim Crow laws of the South and the decline of black political power there after Reconstruction made the situation in the North seem an improvement by comparison.(2) This article looks not so much at the reasons that brought African Americans to Indianapolis, but at the general circumstances they would have encountered in the early twentieth century.

In 1982, a collecting effort was formalized at the Historical Society to address the concern for the paucity of records available for doing research on the history of African Americans in the state. The purpose of that effort continues to be to collect, process, preserve, and disseminate information related to the history of black Hoosiers. The Archivist, African American History is available to answer and direct research questions from the public. Indiana Historical Society members can receive Black History News & Notes, a quarterly newsletter that publicizes library collections, relevant historical events, and short papers pertaining to Indiana’s black history. Preserving Indiana’s African American heritage is a cooperative venture. The Society needs your help in providing information about existing records in attics, basements, and garages that can be added to the library’s collections. As more records are collected and organized, a more accurate and complete interpretation of Indiana history will emerge.

Another partnership, George P. Stewart and Will Porter, co-founded the Indianapolis Recorder about seventy years later. The forerunner of the Recorder was a news sheet, a church and business directory. By 1897, the co-founders of the newspaper decided to expand their already successful news sheet into a weekly newspaper. The earliest existing issues of the Recorder (on microfilm) date to 1899-the year Porter sold his share of the newspaper to Stewart for $300. Realizing the importance of local news, Stewart captured that market, outdistancing his competitors, the publishers of the Freeman and the Colored World. Both the Freeman and the Colored World, published in Indianapolis, had national reputations.

  • Breaking Racial Barriers to Public Accommodations in Indiana, 1935 to 1963
    Breaking Racial Barriers to Public Accommodations in Indiana, 1935 to 1963 Emma Lou Thornbrough” I went into a restaurant today and asked for a sandwich. The waitress told me she could not serve me. Had this place been a top hat and tail’s place I would not have gone in. But it’s in the midst of the steel district and only the workers go there. I am working in the same block as the restaurant, and I felt like it was all right for me to go in. I was clean. Thus wrote an East Chicago woman to Walter White, secre- tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), in 1943, a year when the United States was en- gaged in a desperate war against Nazi Germany, a fascist, racist power. “Mr. White,” the writer continued, “we have any number of places in Indiana Harbor, E. Chicago and Hammond. Some even display signs in there [sic]windows ‘white only.’ ” She asked White for guidance as to action that might be taken in the face of wide- spread discrimination, adding: “We need some action out here. I don’t want riots or anything like that. But I do want justice for all, and I don’t believe in any isms but Americanisms. I want my six- teen year old son to know the true meaning of Americanism by seeing it practiced toward men regardless of color.”’ Other letters about racial discrimination and segregation in Indiana came regularly to the national office of the NAACP. Blacks complained of exclusion from eating places.‘ They were rarely al- lowed to sit down at lunch counters or tables, although some estab- lishments permitted them to buy food to carry off the premises.
