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 traces the beginnings of her activism as a young
reporter seeking admission to the graduate program in journalism at
the University of Missouri and how her admissions rejection became
the catalyst for her seven-decade career as a champion of racial
and gender equality. Bluford's work at the Kansas City Call
demonstrates how critical theorists used storytelling to describe
personal experiences of struggle and oppression to inform the
public of racial and gender consciousness. Lucile H. Bluford and
the Kansas City Call illustrates how she used her social authority
in the formidable power base of the weekly Black newspaper she
owned, shaping and mobilizing a broader movement in the fight for
freedom and social justice. This book focuses on a selection of
Bluford's news stories and editorials from 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.
