It is a fascinating look at the media’s role in shaping popular opinion, both for and against social progress.
At the same time, it shows the role of newspapers in reinforcing Southern attitudes against social change. The book begins just after World War II and largely comes in the mid-1960s.
Book Review: “The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation” by Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff goodreads.com/book/show/1084…
In 1932, a new post office building was completed on the same site, and it is now used by the courts of the City of Baltimore. Image: “Post Office, Baltimore, Md.” published by I. & M. Ottenheimer (c. 1914). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection.
In 1889, this grand Italian Renaissance building was completed in Baltimore. It would serve as the city’s post office for several decades but would prove outdated by the Great Depression.
Image 3: “You are the sweetest, cutest little thing” published by Theochrom (c. 1913). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection. Image 4: “A Twentieth Century Courtship "Not quite so fast, sir!"” (undated). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection.
Image 1: “My darling; how I love you, You sweet little dove you, To me there is no one above you, Most beautiful darling” (undated). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection. Image 2: “You're an awful teaser” published by Theochrom (c. 1911). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection.

Image: “Calcutta” by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (1852). From Harvard University, Harvard Map Collection (curiosity.lib.harvard.edu/scanned-maps/c…)
It officially became the capital in 1772, but the capital was moved to Delhi beginning in 1911. It is now the capital of the state of West Bengal.
Kolkata in India (historically known as Calcutta) was the site of a British trading post as early as 1690. From there, the city grew to become the center of British power in India.
Image: [Broadside for the Black Star Line] (c. 1921). From the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaahc_…)
Garvey and the UNIA would face infiltration from the FBI, leading to the company’s closing in the mid-1920s. Today, Ghana’s national shipping corporation is named in honor of the company.
Just after World War I, Black activist Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) founded the Black Star Line, which briefly became a symbol of Black progress in America and Africa.
Image: “View of Tuskegee Institute” by the Vaux Family (1901). From the Library Company of Philadelphia (digital.librarycompany.org/islandora/obje…)
The school focused on industrial trades and was later home to the famed Tuskegee Airmen. It has been a National Historic Site since 1974 and a university since 1985.
Alabama’s Tuskegee Institute opened its doors in 1881 under the leadership of Booker T. Washington. It became known as one of the best schools for African Americans in the South. This photo shows part of the campus in 1901.
Image: [Lantern slide of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, Paris] (date unknown). From the Andrew J. Bramlett Collection.
This lantern slide shows the interior of the Basilica of Saint-Denis in Paris, home to the tombs of the kings of France. The tomb on the right belongs to Louis XII and Anne of Brittany and was completed in 1531.
