Which Black newspaper is listed?

• A. Freedoms Journal
• B. The New York Times
• C. The Wall Street Journal
• D. The Guardian

Answer: (A)

This question hinges on recognizing historically significant Black newspapers. Freedoms Journal is widely cited as the first Black-owned and -operated newspaper in the United States, founded in 1827 in New York by Samuel Cornish and John Russwurm, and it played a key role in abolitionist discourse and Black community advocacy. The other options are major mainstream papers—the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are prominent U.S. daily papers, and The Guardian is a British publication—none of which are identified as Black newspapers in historical terms.
