Newspaper of Record: The Pittsburgh Courier 1907-1965 (2009)

The Pittsburgh Courier was the leading Black newspaper of the last century. No mere journal of African American life, the Courier was a muckraking crusader in the vanguard of the civil rights movement. Its fourteen national editions had a peak circulation of over three hundred fifty thousand. With accounts from Courier reporters and employees, and scholars like John Hope Franklin, this new documentary reveals the role of the Pittsburgh Courier in reporting and shaping African American history.
