Call & Post, The

Founded by Garrett Morgan and a group of pioneering Black businessmen, the newspaper has published every week since 1916 and in 1929 merged with the Cleveland Post. It is the only African-American owned, general circulation newspaper in Cleveland that conforms to the Ohio Revised Code’s definition of a newspaper of general circulation. The Call & Post has a distinctive and loyal paid readership earned through years of hard work, fighting the battle for justice and equality that individuals could neither fight nor win fighting alone. The Call & Post became a trusted friend while reporting the triumphs and tragedies of generations of Black people in Ohio and the nation. It offers a unique perspective – respected by people of all races – serving as a catalyst for change in Ohio.
