Lime Kiln Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lime Kiln Club The Lime-Kiln Club was a fictitious fraternal organization of African-Americans created by writer and journalist Charles Bertrand Lewis for the ''Detroit Free Press'' in the late 19th century. == Newspaper weekly == The Free Press was a Democratic weekly paper owned by the Scripps brothers and it was notable in its era for humor, low cost, and reliance on advertising revenue The two-cent price point of the paper (significantly lower than other publications) allowed for widespread distribution to working class audiences. This business model relied on high circulation as a selling point for advertising. ''The Detroit Free Press'' first published the Brother Gardner’s Lime Kiln Club in 1878. Author Charles Bertrand Lewis, a Union veteran and staff writer since 1869, was a popular humorist for the paper, wrote under the pen name “M. Quad”. Lewis’s Lime Kiln Club was a fictional, African-American, fraternal organization featuring negative stereotypes of blacks in an appeal to working-class Democrats during a racially charged era.〔〔 Lewis wrote his pieces in African-American dialect and spoken by characters with names like Brother Gardner, Waydown Bebee, and Elder Toots. Each Lime Kiln Club episode follows a club debate on issues of politics, economics, and philosophy.〔 The absurdity and ignorance of these discussions served to satirize both African-Americans and politicians.〔〔 The column proved hugely popular and it was syndicated nationally〔 and published as a book, ''Brother Gardner's Lime-Kiln Club: being the regular proceedings of the regular club for the last three years ; with some philosophy, considerable music, a few lectures, and a heap of advice wirth reading,' in 1887''〔''. ''Charles Lewis ceased writing Lime Kiln Club stories when he left ''The Detroit Free Press'' for a higher salary at ''New York World'' in 1891.〔
