BLACK WORLD MAGAZINE
SELECT ISSUES FROM 1961-1976
Created in 1942 by Chicago-based publisher John H. Johnson, who also produced Ebony, Tan, and Jet magazines, the original series of Negro Digest was published monthly from 1942 to 1951. An unabashed imitation of Reader's Digest, it published general articles about African-American life, with an emphasis on racial progress. It also reprinted relevant articles from other journals, particularly mainstream white publications.
