Скачать или смотреть How Robert Abbott’s Chicago Defender Changed Black America Forever

📰 Long before social media, one Black newspaper moved a nation.

The Chicago Defender, founded by Robert Abbott, wasn’t just news, it was a lifeline. For African-Americans in the Jim Crow South, it provided:

✨ Critical information on job opportunities, housing, and living conditions in Northern cities
✨ Recruitment into labor forces that fueled industry in the North
✨ Bold advocacy for civil rights, racial equality, and justice
✨ The power to shift public opinion by challenging stereotypes and exposing racial violence

The Defender became more than a paper, it was a movement that fueled The Great Migration and forever changed the landscape of Black America.
