During Johnson's long editorship, from 1889 until 1954, the newspaper covered the injustices of the Jim Crow era, including segregation, lynchings, and the convict lease system. The Savannah Tribune, a weekly newspaper covering news and issues related to Savannah's African American community, was founded in 1875. With the exception of two hiatuses, from 1878 to 1886, and from 1960 to 1973, the paper has operated continuously. - Metadata URL:
