Why do we need the Black Press?
Chauncey Bailey, the late San Francisco-based African American editor, speaks about the role and need for the Black Press.
Bailey was murdered earlier this year, most likely because of his investigative reporting work.
Project Progress Reports I added this section to the page as a page that can be deleted when the project is finished, but I thought it would be interesting to find out what progress people are having with their projects.
Post Preliminary Project Progress Proposal this is a section for the last minute updates on group projects
