The Negro Star
''The Negro Star'' was an African-American newspaper created by Hollie T. Sims that ran from 1908 to 1953. Sims founded the paper in Greenwood, Mississippi but moved it to Wichita, Kansas in 1919 as a result of racial hostility. Bringing national news to Wichita, the ''Star'' was one of few newspapers that provided African Americans news and access to African-American updates during the early to mid-1900s.
==History==
Hollie Sims originally ran ''The Negro Star'' while he lived in Greenwood, Mississippi. However, the city sheriff and others made Sims unwelcome there after he wrote a tribute to the black soldiers of World War I.〔 Sims and his wife therefore moved their family, along with two other families involved in the ''Stars production, to Wichita, Kansas in 1919.〔
Sims and his family were very involved with both the newspaper and the community (among other activities, Sims founded the Wichita chapter of the NAACP). At the time of the move, the ''Stars assistant editor was W. S. Moore. Sims' brother Hugh also worked at the ''Star'', as did B. H. Neely, who partnered with Sims to form the Kansas Coal and Mercantile Company.〔 For a period in 1934-35, the paper tapped Bennie Williams as a sports editor.〔
The Sims continued to publish the ''Star'' until 1953; Virginia Sims wrote in January, "Because of Editor Sims () continued weak condition, we are giving up printing; (''Star'' ) goes into new hands later this week".〔, cited in Carroll 2010, p. 255〕 The paper continued as ''The Post Observer'' until July 1953 and the ''Wichita Post Observer'' until July 1954.
