EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant heart of journalistic history with this image of the Chicago Defender print room in 1925. The Chicago Defender, hailed as the world's greatest weekly, was a beacon of truth and empowerment for the African American community during the 1920s. This photograph, taken at the Defender plant in Chicago, Illinois, USA, offers a rare glimpse into the bustling atmosphere where the newspaper was brought to life. Four dedicated individuals, dressed in their work attire, are seen engrossed in their tasks. One man operates a printing machine, while another carefully stacks freshly printed newspapers. Two women, likely part of the support staff, sort and organize the papers. The room is filled with the hum of machinery and the palpable energy of a team working together to disseminate essential news and information. The Chicago Defender was an integral part of the African American experience in the United States during the 1920s, a time of significant social and cultural change. Its impact extended far beyond Chicago, reaching readers across the country and even abroad. This photograph serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Defender team and the critical role they played in shaping the narrative of the African American community during this pivotal era. This evocative image is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture collections at the New York Public Library.
