Black Press Week
March 10 - 16, 1975
As we approach the celebration of our national bicentennial,
it is appropriate that we pay tribute to the black press in
our country. Since the early Nineteenth Century, America's
black newspapers have championed the cause of equal oppor-
tunity and justice. They have staunchly defended the very
principles on which our nation was founded and sought full
expression for those principles in our daily lives.
I know that I am joined by countless fellow citizens during
this observance in giving special recognition to the crucial
role of the black press in perpetuating and preserving the
legacy of freedom we cherish.
