Hello everyone! I am so sorry; this has been a bit of a hectic week. I will be back on track now. I hope you all enjoy the facts about Black Firsts in Journalism.
Day 8-Time Magazine
Time magazine’s first black national correspondent (1963) was Wallace Houston Terry II, whose many assignments included coverage of the Vietnam War. He was named 1993 holder of the John Seigenthaler Chair of Excellence in First Amendment Studies at Middle Tennessee State University.

The first issue of Crisis magazine, the official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the vehicle for the dissemination of educational and social programs for blacks, was published in April 1910. Edited by W.E.B. Du Bois, Crisis was first printed in one thousand copies, but by 1920 circulation had increased one-hundredfold.
