About THE BLACK SCHOLAR Journal (from Wikipedia):

******The Black Scholar is a journal founded in California, in 1969, by Robert Chrisman, Nathan Hare, and Allan Ross. It is the third oldest Black studies journal in the US, after the NAACP's The Crisis (founded in 1910) and the Journal of African American History (formerly The Journal of Negro History, founded in 1916).

Robert Chrisman (1937-2013) and Nathan Hare (b. 1933) were active in the 1968-69 Black studies struggle at San Francisco State University. The experience motivated Chrisman and Hare to create a venue outside of the academy for Black knowledge production. In November 1969, Hare (publisher), Chrisman (editor) and Allan Ross, a white Bay Area printer (business manager) founded The Black Scholar: A Journal of Black Studies and Research, to cover issues of social, cultural, economic and political thought.******
