’’Do’s and Don’ts:’’ The Black Press, Racial Etiquette, and Black Politics of Resistance, 1956-1969.

This paper examines the relationship between the Black news press and Black protest politics from 1956-1969. The study analyzes a popular etiquette cartoon entitled "Do’s and Don’ts." "Do’s and Don’ts" was featured in several African American newspapers during this period and beyond. The paper specifically explores how the prescriptions offered for black behavior changes over the course of the civil rights movement with particular regard to whether the mainstream black press changes as large segments of the movement radicalize.
