The defender (2016)

The first full history of the Chicago Defender, the Black weekly Robert Abbott started in 1905 that exposed lynchings in the South and urged readers to join the Great Migration north. Michaeli worked at the paper in the 1990s as a copy editor and reporter, and he keeps the focus on the journalists who wrote its stories and editorials. It is the clearest example on this list of a single newspaper changing where people chose to live.
