50 years of advocacy and impact: Celebrating NABJ’s enduring legacy

As the National Association of Black Journalists prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary this December, the organization stands as a powerful testament to the legacy of its founders and the resilience of generations of Black journalists who followed in their footsteps. Its mission has always been to increase Black representation in media and to hold newsrooms accountable for how they report on Black communities.
