Black and White
註釋Timothy Thomas Fortune (1856-1928) was an orator, civil rights leader, journalist, writer, editor and publisher. In 1876 he left Howard University and began working at the People's Advocate, a newspaper in Washington, D.C. At one time he also worked at the Marianna Courier and later the Jacksonville Daily- Times Union. These experiences would be the start of a career wherein he would go on to have his work published in over twenty books and articles and in more than three hundred editorials. Fortune moved to New York City in 1881 and began a process whereby over the next two decades he would become known as editor and owner of a newspaper named first the Globe, then the Freeman, and finally the New York Age, which became the most widely read of all Black newspapers. It stood against the evils of discrimination, lynching and mob violence. His works include: Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South (1884), The Kind of Education the Afro-American Most Needs (1898), Dreams of Life: Miscellaneous Poems (1905), and The New York Negro in Journalism (1915).
