Description | The Black Republican and Office-Holder's Journal, published in New York City in 1865, produced at least four issues, featuring satirical content targeting prominent figures like James Gordon Bennett and Horace Greeley. It parodied Black newspapers of the time, employing humor, illustrations, and fictitious news articles. Likely included in the Miscellaneous Negro newspapers microfilm collection by mistake, it reflects resistance to the rise of the Black press during Reconstruction. This historical artifact, while offensive to modern sensibilities, offers insights into the attitudes and language of its era, reminding readers of the complexities of historical context. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1865 of this newspaper. |
