Charlotta Amanda Spears Bass (February 14, 1874〔Birthdate listed as 1874 from (Charlotta Bass ) via PBS, and October 1880 from Encyclopaedia Britannica and others.〕 – April 12, 1969) was an American educator, newspaper publisher-editor, and civil rights activist. Bass was probably the first African-American woman to own and operate a newspaper in the United States; she published the ''California Eagle'' from 1912 until 1951.〔Nancy A. Hewitt. ''A Companion to American Women's History'', Blackwell Publishing, p. 237 (2002), ISBN 0-631-21252-3〕 In 1952, Bass became the first African-American woman nominated for Vice President, as a candidate of the Progressive Party. ==Background== Charlotta Amanda Spears Bass was born in Sumter, South Carolina, on February 14, 1874, to Hiram and Kate Spears. She was the sixth child of eleven. When she was twenty years old, she moved to live with her brother in Providence, Rhode Island, where she worked for the ''Providence Watchman''. Spears worked for the ''Providence Watchman'' for about ten years. She moved to California for her health and ended up working at the ''Eagle.'' In 1912, a new editor Joseph Bass joined the ''Eagle.'' Bass had been one of the founders of the ''Topeka Plaindealer''. He shared his concern with Spears about the injustice and racial discrimination in society.〔Thompson, Kathleen. ("Bass, Charlotta Spears." ) Oxford AASC: Home. Oxford University Press, 2010. Web.
