Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Description

The Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder (MSR) enjoys a living legacy as the oldest Black-owned newspaper in the state of Minnesota and one of the longest-standing, family-owned newspapers in the country. Civil rights activist and businessman Cecil E. Newman launched the MSR in August 1934 as two separate papers: the Minneapolis Spokesman and the St. Paul Recorder before it merged into one single news publication in 2007. Today, the MSR is helmed by his granddaughter, Tracey Williams-Dillard, who serves as CEO/Publisher. For the past 88 years, the MSR has established itself as a trusted voice for the diverse Black communities of Minnesota — championing voices and stories that might otherwise go unheard.
