John H. Sengstacke
John Herman Henry Sengstacke (November 25, 1912 – May 28, 1997) was an African-American newspaper publisher. He worked with President Franklin D. Roosevelt to have African-American reporters in the White House and to create jobs in the United States Postal Service for African Americans. One of John's biggest objectives was to desegregate the armed forces. Ultimately, President Harry Truman named Sengstacke to the commission he formed to integrate the military. Sengstacke established the National Newspaper Publishers Association, which was an endeavor to unify and strengthen African-American owned papers. He served seven terms as president of the association.
==Biography==
He was born in Savannah, Georgia, to Alexander Sengstacke on November 25, 1912. At a young age, John worked for the ''Woodville Times'', which was owned by his grandfather and later his father Alexander Sengstacke.
His uncle, Robert Sengstacke Abbott, who founded ''The Chicago Defender'' in 1905 and was the publisher, trained John to be heir of this newspaper. ''The Chicago Defender'' was a widely read black newspaper. John's uncle paid for his education at the Hampton Institute in Virginia, where he graduated in 1934. It was then that he became Vice President and General Manager of The Robert S. Abbott Publishing Company. In 1940, Robert Abbott died and John Sengstacke inherited his uncle's newspaper.
In 1956, Sengstacke had another huge milestone in his career; he turned his weekly newspaper into a daily newspaper. At that time, ''The Chicago Defender'' was the nation's largest African American owned daily paper. Sengstacke also owned the ''Michigan Chronicle'' in Detroit, and the ''Tri-State Defender'' in Memphis, TN. In the late 1980s he purchased another of history's great Black newspapers, the ''Pittsburgh Courier''. John Sengstacke died on May 28, 1997.
