In addition, as one of their leaders pointed out, they support 200 religious periodicals, 35 college papers and magazines, scores of high school magazines, 10 trade journals, while several ambitious monthlies, such as the National Medical Journal and the Journal of Negro Education serve the coloured people alone. The correspondent adds that the negro press made its .first appearance 10(5 years ago. From the pioneer paper, Freedom’s Journal, which at one time was edited by the first negro to graduate in America, “ the negro press,” he says, “ has continued growing in spite of all kinds of obstacles, and holding its place as the articulate voice of the negro race.”
