Here’s a fact that shaped Black journalism: Robert Sengstacke Abbott was the founder of the Chicago Defender*, one of the most influential Black newspapers in U.S. history. Starting as a four-page pamphlet in 1905, the *Defender grew to encourage African Americans to migrate from the South in search of better opportunities. Abbott’s work laid the foundation for Black media publications like Ebony and *Essence*, and his impact on journalism and social justice is still felt today. • *Did you know this?
