The Philadelphia Independent (1931–71) : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Philadelphia Independent (1931–71) ''The Philadelphia Independent'' was a newspaper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, published from 1931 to 1971 that billed itself as "The World's Greatest Negro Tabloid."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85055146/ )〕 The paper was founded by Forrest White Woodard, who was born in Norfolk, Virginia on February 12, 1886.〔Although census records and his death certificate lean toward a 1889 birth date, his World War I and World War II Draft Registration Cards give the 1886 date. ancestry.com〕 He moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a young man, where he worked at a number of different jobs and operated a number of businesses (including a used car lot and a real estate business) before establishing ''The Philadelphia Independent'' in 1931. He was joined by his second wife, Kathryn "Kitty" Fambro Woodard (1911-2003) who took over the day-to-day operation of the newspaper after his death on March 2, 1958. She ran the paper until she sold it in 1966. Throughout its history, the ''Independent ''competed with the ''Philadelphia Tribune'' for black readers. Kitty Woodard told ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' in a 1997 interview, "The ''Independent ''was for the masses. The ''Tribune ''had always been the paper for the upper class. We were militant. We weren't afraid to take on issues like they were." ==References==
