The North Star

In 1847, with slavery still in full force, two brave men, Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany, started an abolitionist newspaper called The North Star?—?named for the star, Polaris, that was often used as a guide for those seeking freedom in the North. Douglass and Delany knew then, as we know now, that in order to fight back against injustice, their stories had to not only be well told?—?with the color and dimension and nuance that was frequently missing elsewhere, they knew they needed a newspaper that represented the cause of liberation with urgency, clarity, heart, and soul. While The North Star was originally a print newspaper, we will be launching a news app, a full news website, a collection of podcasts, and more. We’re not just here to change the news?—?we aim to change the world.
