Grapevine of the Black South

More about the book

Set in the summer of 1928, the narrative follows William Alexander Scott and his brother Cornelius as they launch a modest four-page weekly newspaper. By 1930, it evolves into a semiweekly publication, and Scott's ambition leads to the creation of the Southern Newspaper Syndicate, later known as the Scott Newspaper Syndicate. By April 1931, the Atlanta World expands to a triweekly format, marking its growing influence beyond the Southern region.
