Minnesota Black Newspaper Index Minnesota Black Newspaper Index Last updated June 2002 Author’s note: My name is Brendan Henehan. This is an informal index of newspapers that I have compiled over the past several years. It is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of topics. I have looked at each of the newspapers listed in the Newspaper Key of this index, quickly scanning them for topics of interest to me. You’ll notice particular passions of mine: baseball, media and the law. Yet I have tried to be general in my interests as well. Each of the papers listed in the key are available at the Minnesota Historical Society except for the New York Age, which is available at the University of Minnesota’s Wilson Library. I’m not a librarian or a professional historian, so please be patient with my subject listings. My goal in creating this index is to share information and whet folks’ appetites about regional African American history. There are a lot of good stories here. And my goal is to get more people interested in them. I would be more than happy to answer any questions people have about anything listed here. I am also eager to hear from the many people who know more about this stuff than I do. Feel free to contact me at 651- 229-1379 or 651-690-0246. My email address is [email protected].

  • Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis
    Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis B r i a n D . B u n k 1- Department o f History University o f Massachusetts, Amherst The African-American press created images o f Harry Will: that were intended to restore the image o f the black boxer afterfack fohnson and to use these positive representations as effective tools in the fight against inequality. Newspapers high­ lighted Wills’s moral character in contrast to Johnsons questionable reputation. Articles, editorials, and cartoons presented Wills as a representative o f all Ameri­ cans regardless o f race and appealed to notions o f sportsmanship based on equal opportunity in support o f the fighter's efforts to gain a chance at the title. The representations also characterized Wills as a race man whose struggle against boxings color line was connected to the larger challengesfacing all African Ameri­ cans. The linking o f a sportsfigure to the broader cause o f civil rights would only intensify during the 1930s as figures such as Joe Louis became even more effec­ tive weapons in the fight against Jim Crow segregation. T h e author is grateful to Jennifer Fronc, John Higginson, and Christopher Rivers for their thoughtful comments on various drafts of this essay. He also wishes to thank Steven A. Riess, Lew Erenberg, and Jerry Gems who contribu:ed to a North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) conference panel where much of this material was first presented. Correspondence to [email protected]. I n W HAT WAS PROBABLY T H E M O ST IMPORTANT mixed race heavyweight bout since Jim Jeffries met Jack Johnson, Luis Firpo and Harry Wills fought on September 11, 1924, at Boyle s Thirty Acres in Jersey City, New Jersey.
