Boston Chronicle Newspaper
 

Boston Chronicle Newspaper

The Boston Chronicle was a daily newspaper founded in 1915 by a group of West Indian immigrants that included Thaddeus A. Kitchener, Suffolk’s first Black graduate. Their motto was “Fearless and Uncompromising—Advocate of Justice, Rights, and Opportunities”, and it was known as “the other Black newspaper” in contrast to the Boston Guardian.

This relatively understudied and little-known newspaper covered a wide variety of topics including global anticolonial struggles, leftist activism, critiques of anticommunism, Jim Crow in the U.S., women’s rights, Black activism, transnational Black print culture, structural discrimination in education, labor and housing, and even sports reporting, music and book reviews. For the paper’s editors and many of its noteworthy contributors, maintaining “a sense of international solidarity with the most oppressed peoples of the earth,” was deeply intertwined with a militant fight for racial equality in the United States.

The Moakley Archive, along with Sawyer Library staff members Angjelina Koci and Carmen Chen, digitized microfilm versions of the paper from 1932-1960. Please note: some issues are faded and do not allow comprehensive keyword searching.

Descriptive annotations, headline transcriptions, and subject headings were provided by Christiana McKenzie and Meagan Columbus (Suffolk University Class of 2025), and John Owusu (Suffolk University class of 2026) as part of their degree program internships at the Moakley Archive, focused on promoting and enhancing research access to the digitized issues.
