Thence he moved to Lancaster, Indiana, where he enrolled at the Eleutherian Institute. In 1857, he relocated to Indianapolis and joined the Second Baptist Church. Recognizing his oratorical skills and spiritual leadership, its members soon called Broyles as their pastor. As a bi-vocational minister, Rev. Broyles also taught at a private school for African American children and helped integrate Indianapolis High School. He was a fierce opponent of slavery who demanded equal rights and privileges for African Americans as U.S. citizens. Later, he served as a statewide leader in the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S.

James West Richard A. Courage A House for the Struggle: The Black Press and the Built Environment in Chicago By E. James West (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2022. Pp. xi, 282. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. Clothbound, $110.00; paperbound, $24.95.) The history of Chicago’s Black press has been partially explored by scholars like Christopher Reed, Ethan Michaeli, and Gerald Horne, but E. James West illuminates its epic scope and significance through his book’s expansive time frame and its intertwining of accounts of individual media institutions—their leaders, milestone events, editorial policies, and ideological commitments—with [End Page 295] analyses of the geographical places and physical spaces within which Black newspapers and magazines grew and competed. West’s narrative extends from 1905 to the mid-1970s—from the year Robert Sengstacke Abbott founded the weekly Chicago Defender newspaper to the heyday of John H. Johnson’s media empire and its magazines Ebony, Jet, and Black World. This frames the subject against a backdrop of momentous events that these publications chronicled, influenced, and were in turn shaped by: the Great Migration, the emergence of a racially homogenous Black Metropolis on the South Side, the Black Chicago Renaissance, and the Black Power Movement. The intersection of spatial and temporal axes is signaled by two maps immediately preceding the introduction. One shows the locations of eight buildings that at different times housed offices of the focal enterprises: the Defender and Johnson Publishing Company. The second map expands the scope by showing the addresses of twelve other Black media enterprises (including the Associated Negro Press, Chicago Bee, and Chicago Whip), which collectively demarked what West calls “Chicago’s Black Newspaper Row.” Later, West writes that “the spaces inhabited by Black media concerns . . . came to embody the highly contingent and heavily contested relationships between Black literary and cultural production, business development, civil rights, and urban politics“ (p. 5). The focus on the built environment is fresh and provocative, creating openings for West to spotlight such relatively unfamiliar figures as Henrietta Lee and John Moutoussamy. Lee rented Abbott the single room where he slept and produced early issues of the Defender on a borrowed folding table. She typically figures in accounts of the newspaper’s origins as a benevolent maternal presence hovering vaguely in the background of Abbott’s self-making struggles. West amasses sufficient detail for a more rounded account of an independent woman with multiple institutional and community affiliations—a civic leader whose influence one could read between the lines of the newspaper she sustained for over fifteen years. If Lee is associated with the Defender’s tenuous early years, Moutoussamy is associated with John","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135346842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
