IN BLACK HISTORY

The New Pittsburgh Courier is one of the oldest and most prestigious Black newspapers in the United States, with a rich and storied history. Pittsburgh attorney and journalist Robert L.

The Courier, covering news around the world reached an all time high circulation of 450,000 with over 400 employees in 1948.....read more from the official website of The New Pittsburgh Courier
