# Courtney Murray: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

2023 Junior Fellow Courtney Murray worked with the Serial and Government Publications Division to provide more context for these important newspapers. Courtney wrote ten title essays on newspapers from the collection that are crucial in understanding the African American Press and African American history. Her essays covered single-issue antebellum and postbellum newspapers a part of the Colored Conventions Movement, long-running newspapers significant to the Midwest press scene, newspapers with African American women as editors and reporters, first of their kind East Coast newspapers like the Colored American published in Augusta, Georgia, and so on. These essays also provided more details about how these newspapers served their local, regional, national, and political communities. Once added to Chronicling America, Courtney's essays will help researchers, families, and students understand the diverse contexts, networks, and communities represented by the African American press in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
