About this Item

Small broadside flyer/program. Approximately 13 x 18 cm, Minor spot on edge. Information found online has The Gary American, an African American newspaper in Gary, as publishing its first first issue on Nov. 10, 1927 so it unclear to us why their 18th anniversary was being celebrated in 1942. Roscoe Conkling Simmons (identified on the program as Col. Roscoe C. Simmons), Editor of the Chicago Defender, was the featured speaker . The title of his address is listed as "The Negro Newspaper.".
