Temple, had a larger format, and was headed by president H. P. Carter. In the
1940s the paper was edited and published by C. F. Richardson. In this period the
paper espoused a platform supporting new parks and paved streets, space restrictions
on rental housing, separation of Prairie View from Texas A&M University, increased
black representation in police and fire departments, more sensitive curricula
for the Houston public schools and a technical high school, county institutions
for delinquents, equal rights, voting rights, anti-lynching laws, capital punishment,
and an increase in black-owned businesses. The paper has been in continuous publication
since its founding.
