African American periodicals, 1825-1995 enables users to search many periodicals by and about African Americans. The collection
is based upon James P. Danky's African-American Newspapers and Periodicals: A National Bibliography (Harvard, 1998). Drawn
from holdings of the Wisconsin Historical Society, African American Periodicals ranges over more than 150 years of American
life, from slavery during the Antebellum Period to the struggles and triumphs of the modern era. Editorial views from the
pages of these periodicals include opinions on the abolitionist movement; "Jim Crow" segregation; African American achievements
in literature, music, sports and science; the integration of U.S. public schools in 1954; the beginning of the Freedom Movement;
the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968; the Million Man March of 1995; and much more.
