You hear the newsboy's voice cutting through Chicago's streets, papers tucked under his arm. The ink still smudges your fingers as you unfold the Defender, hungry for stories your other papers won't print. This is how news reaches you—shouted, passed hand to hand, alive on the corner.
Young vendors hawked papers on Chicago streets, their voices calling out headlines to hurried pedestrians. The Chicago Defender, a Black-owned newspaper, reached thousands through these determined kids, making news affordable and impossible to ignore.
Reflect
Where do you get your news today, and who brings it to you?
