Bluford and the Kansas City Call: Activist Voice for Social Justice The Black press has long been a platform for Black feminists and civil rights activists, like journalist, editor and publisher Lucile H. Bluford. The Lucile Bluford book discusses the activist career of Bluford and her fight against racism and sexism. It traces the beginnings of her activism as a young reporter seeking admission to the graduate program in journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia and details how that battle became the catalyst for her seven-decade media career. The authors, Dr. Sheila Brooks PH.D. and Clint C. Wilson II, focuses on a selection of Bluford’s writings that appeared in the Kansas City Call newspaper over fifteen years, from 1968 to 1983, as examples of how she articulated a Black feminist viewpoint in her news stories and editorial commentaries on women’s rights and civil rights issues. Bluford masked her Black feminism with a unique angle of vision as it relates to oppression, race, gender, and class. Bluford regularly used her journalistic voice in her news stories and commentaries to break down the barriers of inequalities and injustices against both women and Black people, especially in her news coverage that the mainstream news ignored.
