| Summary: | This book on publisher and editor Lucile H. Bluford examines her journalistic writings on social, economic and political issues, her strong opinionated views on African Americans and women and whether there were consistent themes, biases and assumptions in her stories that may have influenced news coverage in the Kansas City Call. It focuses on a selection of Bluford's news stories and editorials form 1968 to 1983 as examples of how she articulated a Black feminist standpoint advocating a Black liberation agenda, equal access to decent jobs, affordable health care and housing and a better education in Kansas City, Missouri. Bluford's writings represented what the mainstream news ignored, exposing injustices and inequalities in the African American community and among feminists. |
