To determine to what extent black African-American newspapers supported secondary desegregation efforts and to determine whether or not attitudes changed or remained constant after the initial ruling and after the 10th, 20th, and 30th, anniversaries of the May 17, 1954, "Brown versus Board of Education" decision, the editorial viewpoints of four African-American newspapers were analyzed. The newspapers were the "Los Angeles Sentinel,""Michigan Chronicle,""Norfolk Journal and Guide," and "New Pittsburgh Courier." Because of lack of availability only 10 editorials were analyzed. The data demonstrated that the 30th anniversary of the "Brown" decision in 1984 was not deemed significant enough by any of the newspapers to warrant a specific editorial statement. Findings indicated that the newspapers generally supported the original Supreme Court edict but became cynical in their editorial viewpoints as decades passed and the "all deliberate speed" mandate became one of "all deliberate delay." (Two tables of data and 30 notes are included.) (MS)
