** FOREWORD

HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.

W RITING in 1853 in Frederick Douglass ’ Paper, a pseudonymous columnist who called himself “Dion” argued that the literature of “colored Americans” was as yet a nascent thing, existing “only, to too great an extent, in the vast realm of probability.” Nevertheless, he felt comfortable predicting “the future will yet reveal to us the names of colored Americans so gloriously illustrated in the catalogue of literary excellence, as to remind the world of the days when dark-browed Egypt gave letters to Greece ” Already, he continues, “various colored Americans” had begun to publish historical and imaginative literature, arguing a “future glory in the persons of her sons, who have been cast upon a different shore.”

Despite these noble if fledgling efforts, however, Dion worries about their pres¬ ervation: “Still, even those efforts are not to be spoken of without regret, for they were mainly contained within the narrow limits of pamphlets, or the volumes of newspapers, ephemeral caskets, whose destruction entails the destruction of the gems which they contain.” Because of the fragility of newspapers, Dion argues, the intellectual heritage of the Negro American will be imperiled, doomed to “become the subject of vague tradition,” unless “some capable person may take measures to effect a speedy collection of those valuable evidences of the genius and integrity of our gifted brethren. Such a work,” Dion concludes with a flourish, “is due to them, is due to ourselves, is due to posterity.”

James Danky and Maureen Hady have heeded Dion’s call. Their national bibli¬ ography constitutes the most complete census of the newspapers and periodicals published and edited by African-Americans between 1827 and the present. A guide to more than 6500 titles, African-American Newspapers and Periodicals is a map to a veritable dark continent of journalism that black Americans have created, circulated, and digested for the past one hundred seventy-one years.

And what wonders this bibliography can unveil! Let us consider the field of African-American literature, as just one example of the potential import of this bibliography upon scholarship in African-American Studies. Tens of thousands of pieces of creative literature — poems, short stories, serialized novels — were publish-

ed in these black periodicals. Perhaps not surprisingly, most of the critical discus¬ sions of the nature and function of African-American literature took place in black periodicals. Because they were frequently denied a forum in white-owned maga¬ zines, newspapers, and publishing houses, African-American writers of the nine¬ teenth and early twentieth centuries found a market for their work in their neigh¬ borhood black periodicals, which printed an overwhelming majority of those stories, short novels, and poems written by blacks prior to 1920. Much of the periodical literature was also written at the urging of newspaper editors and other black leaders who hoped that black literature, by demonstrating blacks’ intellectual prowess, would erode racial prejudice. Until recently, however, these literary works have remained largely forgotten, scattered among the collections of historical so¬ cieties and university libraries. The entire history of African-American literature will have to be revised to account for the black periodical literature published between 1827 — the year when Freedom’s Journal, the first black periodical, ap¬ peared — and 1940. It is as if we have rediscovered a hermetically sealed library of the African-American tradition after a century of neglect.

Of course, white racism continued and Jim Crow and other discriminatory measures increased as the number of black literary works grew towards the end of the century. This literature is, therefore, of great social and historical importance in understanding the African-American experience in the nineteenth and twenti¬ eth centuries. But it also has considerable literary significance because, while there are few “masterpieces,” it shows that relatively uneducated black people produced literature of similar quality as fairly well-educated white people writing in publi¬ cations at the same time.

Who were these black authors whose works have been so overlooked? While some were middle class, many others belonged to the working class. A black person would come home after a long day’s work as a domestic or laborer, and sit down to write a novel, short story, or poem — and this at a time when black people historically have been accused of being undereducated and illiterate. In addition, a remarkable amount of nineteenth-century periodical literature was written by women. Black women make frequent mention in their writings in these periodicals of the necessity of establishing a women’s literary tradition. They also discuss sexual exploitation and the fact that black women had even less freedom than black men. They write about love and explore normal human emotions and relationships more fully than is found in the black male literary tradition, and they do so without ignoring the culture of racism.

This bibliography, then, is a conduit into an almost self-contained universe of thought and feeling of the African-American people, their aspirations and dreams, but also their everyday concerns and occurrences. Once scholars have begun to utilize this bibliography as the enabling tool that it is, a remarkable amount of information about the world’s impact every day upon African-Americans, and their impact upon the world, can be scrutinized by scholars, thus filling in lacunae that even the most subtle intellectual history cannot otherwise address. Few reference tools have a greater potential impact upon the development of African-American studies than this one.

« BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROIECT »

T

1 H I S bibliography had its origin in two modest local checklists published on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in 1975 and 1979. Black Periodicals and Newspapers listed the titles held by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the University and was aimed at students and faculty who had found it difficult to use these institutions’ voluminous holdings. Spurred by students’ increased interest in “minority” or non-white cultures, the Library of the State Historical Society also produced Asian American Periodicals and Newspapers and Hispanic Americans in the United States: A Union List of Periodicals and Newspapers, both in 1979. Given the small size of the Society’s holdings, around one hundred titles each, these titles could provide a much more detailed form of entry, an experiment that was incorporated into all later work. The next publication, Womens Periodicals and Newspapers (G. K. Hall, 1982) contained nearly 1500 titles eventually, and was supported by grants from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction under Title IX. Again, the work was broad in scope and the entries detailed.

The Society’s collection of Native American serials was also sizeable and in¬ cluded known rarities like The Cherokee Phoenix, the first Native American news¬ paper, published in Georgia in 1828. Various bibliographies generated on campus and elsewhere created demand for a similar work for this group of materials. Native American Newspapers and Periodicals (Greenwood, 1984) was funded by the De¬ partment of Public Instruction, along with a series of workshops and an index to the Wisconsin Native American press. A guide to nearly 1200 titles, this was the first of the bibliographies to include titles held by libraries outside Madison. This development meant that procedures had to be developed to train librarians and others to do detailed examination of each issue of every title.

The present work is a guide to more than 6500 titles by and about African- Americans identified and located by the Project between 1989 and 1998. Informa¬ tion included in this work was gained through direct examination of each issue of every title. This is the only proven method of accurately representing a title and recording its editors, publishers, and other information. Maureen Hady, the Pro¬ ject’s Associate Editor, designed the code sheets and customized the software we have used, in addition to personally completing code sheets for thousands of titles. Additional code sheets were completed by the Project Director, numerous research

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROJECT

Xll

assistants, and gracious librarians and archivists around the country whose insti¬ tutions we did not have a chance to visit.

The bibliography covers literary, political, and historical journals as well as general newspapers and feature magazines. It includes titles that have long ceased publication as well as those which still appear. This work is the most extensive yet compiled, and its titles represent many phases of African-American thought and action, from the religious, abolitionist, and educational press of the antebellum era to the publications of nationalists, Hip Hop musicians, and business and profes¬ sional groups that appear today.

During the Project’s ten-year existence, staff members did fieldwork in hundreds of libraries and archives in more than thirty states, ranging from large and well- known national institutions like the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center of Howard University to the smaller and lesser-known such as the Carnegie Branch of the Chatham-Effingham-Liberty Regional Library in Savannah, Georgia, and the Reverdy C. Ranson Memorial Library of Payne Theological Seminary in Wil- berforce, Ohio. As is evident from the entries in this volume, many smaller insti¬ tutions do not participate in OCLC, the national online library database, and a number do not catalog their periodicals, instead relying on an alphabetical or other shelving arrangement. The extraction of this information is one of the most sig¬ nificant accomplishments of the Project.

We know that this bibliography does not include every title that has been published and which survived, and in some cases we even know where the titles are held but have been unable to elicit a response that would permit their inclusion. A great number of publications, many religious in nature, are held by individuals; until they are persuaded to donate them to an institution they are not publicly accessible and thus not appropriate for this work. For some categories of publica¬ tion, such as high school newspapers, there clearly exist a great many more than we have been able to include. If our scant lists help to identify, locate, and preserve additional titles for future scholarship, another of the Project’s goals will have been met.

For current titles we have attempted to include the latest contact information. In the fall of 1997 Project staff sent a mailing to every current title including a copy of its entry. This generated a large number of corrections and additions, as well as some new titles. We also asked the editors to include additional copies of their publication so that a file of originals could be assembled for exhibit purposes. While not comprehensive, these files enable the Society to demonstrate the variety of the African-American press in a fashion that microfilm and other library prac¬ tices do not.

>A.NY project of this size and duration requires funds, in this case lots of funds. When I originally proposed the project in 1988, Sondra Shaw, then the Society’s associate director for development, helped persuade three local foundations to provide seed money: the Madison Community Foundation, Evjue Foundation, and the Norman Bassett Foundation. Through the relationship between the Society and the University of Wisconsin, the Project also received $40,000 over four years from the University of Wisconsin System as part of their diversity initiative. With this base, we approached the Ford Foundation and found in Sheila Biddle a friendly yet critical resource. The grant from Ford provided us with a credibility that was essential in all of our later fund raising. The National Endowment for the Humani¬ ties has provided the bulk of the more than $500,000 we have raised and spent. We received helpful comments from administrators such as George Farr, and numer¬ ous program officers and advisors (Jeff Field, Joe Herring, Fred Miller, Michael Poliakoff, Barbara Paulson, and Karen Jefferson).

In the decade between publication of Black Periodicals and Newspapers and the beginning of the Project, I was in constant contact with Maureen Hady, the Pro¬ ject’s associate editor. I have had the tremendous good fortune to have known Maureen since her student days. Through graduate school in English and Library Science, many project positions at the Society, her years as director of the Water- town (Wisconsin) Public Library, and back to the Society, Maureen has been a constant source of expertise and enthusiasm that have held my attention and bolstered my spirits. When I was considering applying for one of the early grants for the Project I told Maureen that I would submit it only if she would come back to the Society to work on it. Ten years later she is only now departing for Virginia Commonwealth University. The volume you hold is the ample testament to her tenacity and talents.

While not a cast of thousands, a great number of research assistants, mostly students, though not all from the Madison campus, have worked on the Project. We have appreciated and enjoyed their youthful perspective: Davarian Baldwin, John Berg, Patrick Burke, Valerie Carter, Anita Conner, Ann Marie Davis, David Dodd, Michael Englehart, Nathan Greer, Tracy Johnson, Loreli Kirsch, Jackie Lalley, Tiffany Lightbourn, Melville Nickerson, Monique Nickson, Amanda Raetzman,

When I began the Project in 1989 my son, Matthew, was six. Now he is about to get his driver’s license. Matthew has grown up with the Project, rarely complaining that family vacations inevitably included visits to libraries and bookstores. Mat¬ thew’s mother, Christine Schelshorn, made these same detours, helping plan our travel so that family duties could be accommodated to visit just one more site, and then another. For their patience and encouragement I am very grateful. Friends were not exempt from the Project’s grip as they provided a bed and meal on many occasions. Some of them even made visits to bookstores and libraries to examine or purchase the one item in question. Among them are Bill and Cat Anderson, Sandy Berman, Jean Church, Tom Cox, Carolyn Davis, Chris Dodge, Sherry Sher¬ rod DuPree, Lisa Finder, Michael Flug, Delores Jenkins, Jenny Katze and Tony Krause, Kwaku Kushindana, Patricia Mason, Genette McLaurin, David Nolan, Robin Paynter, Ray and Irene Schelshorn, Elliott Shore and Maria Sturm, Jessie Carney Smith, Jenny Tobias, and John Wolfe and Ruth Landam. At Harvard Uni¬ versity Press I would like to thank Aida Donald, Jennifer Snodgrass, and John Walsh.

When I first conceived of doing a bibliography of African-American newspapers and periodicals in the 1970s I was fortunate to meet two extraordinary individuals whose knowledge and enthusiasm for African-American history has benefited so many scholars. Richard Newman, now of Harvard’s W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research, has edited some of the major bibliographies in African- American studies. From his days at G. K. Hall, Garland, and the New York Public Library, Dick has been a source of inspiration, friendship, and much good humor. During a particularly frustrating period of grant rejections, Randall K. Burkett, formerly of the Du Bois Institute and now at Emory University, was unsparing in his encouragement. His belief in the importance of the work was crucial in over¬ coming a wide variety of barriers in the course of the Project.

Early in the Project I made arrangements to meet Henry Louis Gates, Jr. “Skip” gave me some important suggestions about how to structure the Project, most valuably how I could create and fill an advisory board. A very public and busy figure, he has always made time for my questions. He also generously contributed the Foreword to this volume.

When Leslie H. Fishel, jr., “retired” for the third time and returned to Madison from Ohio, where he had been president of Heidelberg College and of the Ruther¬ ford Hayes Presidential Center, I finally had the chance to meet someone I had heard so much about. Les was director of the State Historical Society in the 1960s and had been instrumental in developing the collection of manuscript and printed materials documenting the movement by black Americans for civil rights. He agreed to be on the Advisory Board and has not only read our reports but offered critiques. His friendship and encouragement have been a special feature for the Project staff.

I first met Darlene Clark Hine when she asked me to serve on an advisory board for her Black Women in the Middle West project and we have remained friends

since. Her insights were important at a number of points in our work. Manning Marable, an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, formerly at the University of Colorado and now at Columbia University, has helped to make our work more popularly accessible than it would have been. Stan Katz, now returned to Princeton after yeoman service as head of the American Council of Learned Societies, is another former Madisonian whose insight into the world of scholar¬ ship and foundations has been most useful. Howard Dodson, who oversees the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library, was asked about the Society’s collections and abilities by a skeptical program officer, and his endorsement was essential in our securing an early grant. Howard has also provided unfettered access to the Schomburg’s unparalleled collections, which made our work more efficient and enjoyable. Lewis H. Suggs of Clemson Univer¬ sity has written some of the most useful volumes on the African-American press, frequently describing topics and areas that few would have imagined capable of producing new insights. The Department of Afro-American Studies at the Univer¬ sity of Wisconsin is the home to two of my many mentors, Nellie McKay and Richard Ralston. Their willingness to help this Project was not only essential but a wonderful endorsement.

At the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, the Project has benefited from the interest and approval of a number of administrators, including H. Nicholas Muller III and George L. Vogt. Directors of the Society’s Library have been unfailingly supportive, among them R. David Myers, now of New Mexico State University, and J. Kevin Graffagnino, the current director. Library colleagues have been generous with their time and energies as well as encouraging in all matters even as the Project meant additional work. They include Jonathan Cooper, Alice Alderman, Maija Salo-Cravens, Phyllis Young, Jane Richards, Cindy Reynolds, Rosanna O’Connor, Jerry Eggleston, Susan Dorst, Jim Buckett, Charlotte Mullen, Jim Hansen, Michael Edmonds, Laura Hemming, Lori Bessler, John Friend, and Gail Gibson- Ranallo. The staff in Newspapers and Periodicals knows how much work has been involved because they have either done it or observed it. Carol Crossan and later Amy Castle and Sarah McCord were essential to the work of the Project as they dealt with the huge influx of new titles.

The cooperation of librarians, archivists, editors, scholars, and students around the country as well as Canada has been essential to this volume. They know who they are, and how grateful we are.

This bibliography will be updated and made available, probably in electronic form, at some point in the future. Please send corrections, new titles, and com¬ ments to James P. Danky, Newspapers and Periodicals Librarian, State His¬ torical Society of Wisconsin, 816 State St., Madison, WI 53706-1482; email james.danky@ccmail.adp.wisc.edu; telephone (608) 264-6598.
