The Courier achieved national prominence after attorney Robert Sign-up Lee Vann joined the newspaper in 1910. Vann’s original position at the Courier was that of legal counsel, but he soon took control as the paper’s editor­ publisher and treasurer. Under Vann’s guidance the Courier called for improvements for African Americans in areas such as housing, education, and health care. A primary goal of the Courier was to empower blacks both economically and politically. Articles and editorials encouraged the black community’s support of organizations such as The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and The National Urban League. In the 1930’s the Courier sparked a nationwide protest against the Amos n’ Andy radio program when it denounced the stereotypical negative portrayals of African Americans on the show.

A very special thanks is also in order to Dr. Houck for graciously giving me access to the recently discovered St. Louis Argusʼs coverage on the Emmett Till case.

In his lifetime, Vann saw the Courier grow to become the largest, most influential Black newspaper in the nation with a circulation of 250,000 and over 400 employees in 14 cities. From its inception, The Pittsburgh Courier sought to empower African Americans economically and politically. It called for improvements in housing, health, and education; protested the slum conditions in which black people were forced to live in Pittsburgh and throughout the nation; and encouraged the Black community to support Black organizations such as the National Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

  • The Response of African Americans to the Nigerian Civil War, 1967-1970
    ‘Black America Cares’: The Response of African Americans to the Nigerian Civil War, 1967-1970 By James Austin Farquharson B.A, M.A (Research) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education and Arts Australian Catholic University 7 November 2019 Statement of Originality This thesis contains no material that has been extracted in whole or in part from a thesis that I have submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the thesis. ‘Black America Cares’: The response of African Americans to the Nigerian Civil War, 1967-1970 Abstract Far from having only marginal significance and generating a ‘subdued’ response among African Americans, as some historians have argued, the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) collided at full velocity with the conflicting discourses and ideas by which black Americans sought to understand their place in the United States and the world in the late 1960s. Black liberal civil rights leaders leapt to offer their service as agents of direct diplomacy during the conflict, seeking to preserve Nigerian unity; grassroots activists from New York to Kansas organised food-drives, concerts and awareness campaigns in support of humanitarian aid for Biafran victims of starvation; while other pro-Biafran black activists warned of links between black ‘genocide’ in Biafra and the US alike. This thesis is the first to recover and analyse at length the extent, complexity and character of such African American responses to the Nigerian Civil War.

  • Space Race: African American Newspapers Respond
    SPACE RACE: AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS RESPOND TO SPUTNIK AND APOLLO 11 Mark A. Thompson, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2007 APPROVED: Jill Dupont, Major Professor Harland Hagler, Committee Member J. Todd Moye, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Thompson, Mark A. Space Race: African American Newspapers Respond to Sputnik and Apollo 11. Master of Arts (History), December 2007, 75 pp., bibliography, 54 titles. Using African American newspapers, this study examines the consensual opinion of articles and editorials regarding two events associated with the space race. One event is the Soviet launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957. The second is the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. Space Race investigates how two scientific accomplishments achieved during the Cold War and the civil rights movement stimulated debate within the newspapers, and that ultimately centered around two questions: why the Soviets were successful in launching a satellite before the US, and what benefits could come from landing on the moon. Anti-intellectualism, inferior public schools, and a lack of commitment on the part of the US government are arguments offered for analysis by black writers in the two years studied. This topic involves the social conditions of African Americans living within the United States during an era when major civil rights objectives were achieved. Also included are considerations of how living in a “space age” contributed to thoughts about civil rights, as African Americans were now living during a period in which science fiction was becoming reality.
