| Negro Newsfront | | First broadcast in 1948 by Chicago-born Oscar Brown Jr., the Negro Newsfront concerned itself with issues of particular relevance to the African American community. Aired in the city’s South Side Bronzeville neighborhood, the program gained significant popularity with “America’s largest majority” who were politically, socially and economically marginalized. The radio program featured stories often considered too progressive for station owners, and the Negro Newsfront was often kicked off the air. |
