The Philadelphia Tribune (1884)
The Philadelphia Tribune was founded in 1884 by activist Christopher James Perry Sr. at 28. Known then as The Weekly Tribune, the media business began as a one-man and one-page business focusing on covering and promoting the interests and concerns of African Americans in Philadelphia. Perry died in May 1921 at age 65, and his daughter Beatrice Perry succeeded him.
The Philadelphia Tribune would transform from a once-a-week publishing schedule to a regular publication and be led at different times by different presidents. Today, the media company is more than a newspaper; it hosts several events under The Philadelphia Tribune Media Group, telling the story of African Americans in print and online. The 139-year-old Philadelphia Tribune stands today as the oldest continuously published African-American newspaper in the U.S.
