Credo of the Black Press
The Black Press believes that America
can best lead the world away from racial
and national antagonisms when it accords to
every person, regardless of race. color or
creed, full human and legal rights. Hating
no person, fearing no person, the Black
Press strives to help every person in the firm
belief that all are hurt as long as anyone is
held baek.
