The Voice of the Negro was founded in January 1904, the first journal edited by African Americans for a general audience of readers (Walter 369). The four leading editors of the little magazine – John Wesley Edward Bowen, Emmett J. Scott, Booker T. Washington, and Jesse Max Barber – began this magazine in Atlanta, Georgia, the city with the largest number of black institutes at the time, in order to foster the black literary and political voice in the “New South” (369). J Max Barber, as he was formally known, soon took the reins of the magazine’s editing and produced what seemed to be a “split-personality” magazine (Harlan 47): African American contributors either accommodated white influence and policy on race issues, or radically supported an assertive Negro voice (371). The magazine published essays on education and race politics at state, national, and international levels (370). The Voice of the Negro also addressed issues such as the term “Negro,” black marginalization, and women’s rights through the mediums of poetry, essays, and short stories (45).

Over time, J Max Barber’s editing grew more passionate and radical, which caused contention between him and other black writers in the area. His commitment to Negro rights erupted in controversy following an anonymous letter he wrote to a local newspaper setting the record straight about a massacre of black Atlantas by whites in 1906 (374). Although his account was factually accurate, such historical truth-telling was unacceptable to white audiences. When he was discovered as the author, Barber had to flee town to Chicago. There, he attempted to start the magazine again in October 1906 rebranding it as The Voice (374). Barber lost financial support following his relocation, his publisher Hertel and Johnson folded, and the magazine ceased publication the following year (56). Publication records indicated that the magazine ended with 12,000 subscribers (46). Overall, The Voice of the Negro attempted to elevate the Negro race in the south, in the hopes of giving future generations of African Americans  a voice in American and global affairs (370).

The Voice of the Negro published their manifesto in the January 1904 edition at the start of the magazine’s publication:

“The Voice of the Negro for 1904 will keep you posted on Current History, Educational Improvements, Art, Science, Race Issues, Sociological Movements and Religion. It is the herald of the Dawn of the Day. It is the first magazine ever edited in the South by Colored Men. It will prove to be a necessity in the cultured colored homes and a source of information on Negro inspirations and aspirations in the white homes” (Voice of the Negro 1:1).

“1904 will be a year of great things. The country is becoming altruistic and the Negro is emerging from his age of Fire and Blood. We shall study carefully the trends of the times…Our pictures and illustrations will be very interesting. Sparks from Editor J.W.E Bowen’s pen will illuminate many a pessimistic home” (Voice of the Negro 1:1).

John Wesley Edwards Bowen (Dec. 3, 1855 – Jul. 20, 1933)
Editor: Jan. 1904 – Aug. 1906

John Wesley Edwards Bowen was born in New Orleans in 1855 to former slaves in New Orleans. Bowen’s father Edward purchased his wife and son out of slavery in 1858. To ensure a better future for their son, the Bowens secured him the finest education. He received his undergraduate degree from New Orleans University, a bachelor’s degree from the School of Theology at Boston University, and doctorate degree from Boston University (the second African American to do so). Bowen led a life of teaching starting at Central Tennessee College (1878-82) then to Gammon Theological Seminary (’93-’32) where he eventually became president in 1910. While teaching, and before his years at  Gammon, Bowen served as pastor of Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore (Bowen, J.W.E [1855-1933]). His value for African American education, faith, and liberation of his race shaped his contributions and edits to the Voice of The Negro journal. Bowen remained a social activist especially in the church when he published An Appeal for Negro Bishops, But No Separation in 1912 (Bowen, J.W.E [1855-1933]).

Jesse Max Barber ( July 5, 1878 – Sept. 20, 1949)
Editor: Jan. 1904 – Oct. 1907

Born in South Carolina, J. Max Barber worked in his early years – rather fittingly – as a barber. In pursuing a better life through education, Barber went on to study at the Virginia Union University in Richmond where his literary life commenced.  There he became the student editor of the University Journal and president of Literary Society. After graduating in 1903 he assumed the position of editor on The Voice of the Negro in 1904 and shaped the journal into a radical and progressive literary form. Abby Johnson, in her book Propaganda and Aesthetics, provides Barber’s vision for the Voice of the Negro: “We want it to be more than a mere magazine. We expect of it current and sociological history so accurately given and so vividly portrayed that it will become a kind of documentation for the coming generations” (Johnson, 1).

Barber continued to support civil rights through his membership in the Niagara Movement and the NAACP. After The Voice of the Negro folded, Barber briefly edited for the Chicago Conservator. He turned to a career in dentistry while still remaining active in the social rights for African Americans. From 1919 to 1921 Barber served as president for the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP and then became president of the John Brown Memorial Association. He published regularly in Abbott’s Monthly from 1930 to 1933 ( Barber, J. Max [1878-1949]).

Published from 1942 through 1944, VVV offered surrealist and expressionistic views of Western culture to Americans, specifically New York City youths seeking international perspectives and art. Surrealism, and VVV in particular, sought to redefine American avant-garde through irrational thought processes that required tapping into a deeper level of consciousness, often invoking revolutionary approaches and techniques to art and literature by challenging traditional forms. Each issue of VVV published photographs, sculptures, poetry, and prose; however, VVV’s avant garde presentation of these materials was highly experimental and radical.

Each issue’s cover art featured the magazine’s VVV logo along with colorful art. The first issue featured a drawing by Max Ernst; the second, an illustration by Marcel Duchamp; and the final, a design by Matta. The magazine was filled with lavish illustrations and poetry with cross-cultural influences. Readers might turn from a page written completely in French to English, only to switch back to French a few pages later. The final issue included many fold-out pages of varying size, adding to the creativity and depth of thought (Hoffman 24).

VVV, in all of its colorful, creative, and transformative beauty, worked to unite and bring together new artists and direct them towards a bountiful array of new thought. Expanding beyond art into the realms of sociology, anthropology, and psychology, VVV deepened the scope of intellectual thought through transformative exploration of the mind and forms of expression; pushing intellectualists and artists, alike, to attempt revolutionary new approaches to every day applications like architecture, writing, and art.  In this way, VVV, along with other abstract expressionist little magazines like View – a magazine that VVV commonly referenced and co-dominated the surrealist scene – authored a public critique of standard Western culture.

VVV’s intent was simple–to fill the streets of New York (youths, internationals, and abstract expressionists alike) with surrealism.  The following is an “editorial credo,” as Lucy R. Lippard would refer to it, that was included at the beginning of each of the magazine’s three published issues (Lippard 212).  VVV’s manifesto’s abstract form mimics the content, tone, and revolutionary material included in the magazine.

VVV

That is, V + V + V. We say . . . –– . . . –– . . . ––

that is, not only

V               as a vow—and energy—to return to a habitable and conceivable world,

Victory over the forces of regression and of death unloosed at present on

The earth, but also V beyond this first Victory, for this world can no more,

And ought no more, be the same, V over that which tends to perpetuate the

Enslavement of man by man,

And beyond this

VV            of that double Victory, V again over all that is opposed to the emancipation

Of the spirit, of which the first indispensable condition is the liberation

Of man,

Whence,

VVV         towards the emancipation of the spirit, through these necessary stages: it

Is only in this that our activity can recognize its end

Or again:

One knows that to

V               which signifies the View around us, the eye turned towards the external

World, the conscious surface,

Some of us have not ceased to oppose

VV            the View inside us, the eye turned toward the interior world and the depths

Of the unconscious,

Whence

VVV         towards a synthesis in a third term, of these two Views, the first V with

Its axis on the EGO and the reality principle, the second VV on the SELF

And the pleasure principle—the resolution of their contradiction tending

Only to the continual, systematic enlargement of the field of consciousness

Towards a total view,

VVV

                  Which translates all the reactions of the eternal upon the actual, of the

Psychic upon the physical, and takes account of the myth in process of

Formation beneath the VEIL of happenings. (VVV 1:1)

David Hare (Mar. 10, 1917 – Dec. 21, 1992)
Editor: 1942 – 1944

David Hare, an American artist who was born in New York in 1917, was mainly known for his magnificent sculptures, though he was also a prominent painter and photographer. As he himself concluded, “I was good with my hands, but I chose art, too, for the independence of it” (Kimmelman). Hare attended the Fountain Valley School, a high school that his mother helped to found, before moving to Roxbury, Connecticut and working as a photographer. After working as a color photographer for some years, Hare was introduced to some of the world’s leading avant grade artists – Max Ernst, Andre Breton, and, renowned dadaist, Marcel Duchamp – with whom he would eventually begin publishing the revolutionary VVV magazine in New York. As its editor he would also frequently submit pieces of his own. After the magazine’s final issue was published in 1944, Hare continued submitting pieces to various magazines and museums around New York, including an exhibit in the Guggenheim that featured a decade-long collection of his work in 1977. Hare became a member of the early New York School Abstract Expressionists and helped to found The Subjects for Artist School in 1948.  Hare continued teaching, painting, and sculpturing into the 1970’s and 80’s before moving to Victor, Idaho in 1985.  Hare died in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on December 21, 1992.

In 1873 Mary Mapes Dodge wrote an article titled “Children’s Magazines” for Scribner’s Monthly, arguing for a new approach to children’s magazines: “A good magazine for little ones was never so much needed, and such harm is done by nearly all that are published” (Dodge 13). Dodge’s article described how children’s magazines were not properly geared to their youthful audience, and instead were merely water-downed versions of adult journals or overly didactic publications designed to discipline, rather than entertain, their audiences. Scribner’s editors J. G. Holland and Roswell Smith had already planned to launch a new children’s magazine; after reading Dodge’s article they knew they had found their chief editor.

The first issue hit stands in November, 1873, and quickly became the most-read children’s magazine in the United States. The magazine was based out of New York but was widely embraced throughout the country and even in Europe. Dodge employed the aid of Scribner’s Monthly’s art director Alexander Drake to find the best artists to decorate the magazine’s stories and nonfiction, and St. Nicholas’s vibrant illustrations delighted readers. Along with the established adult writers who contributed to the magazine were numerous up-and-coming children writers: Edna St. Vincent Millay, Rachel Carson, and Eudora Welty saw their names for the first time in print in St. Nicholas. “The St. Nicholas League” allowed young readers to contribute writing, artwork, and puzzles, and offered monetary incentives to those who published regularly.

After Dodge passed away in 1905, the magazine continued strongly for twenty-two years under the leadership of William Fayal Clarke. After his tenure ended, no editor maintained the position for more than four years and the magazine ended in 1940. In 1943 new ownership attempted to revitalize the famed publication, but only four more issues appeared before St. Nicholas shut its doors forever. It has been hailed as the most influential children’s magazine to date.

The following quotations embody the spirit with which Mary Mapes Dodge began St. Nicholas.

“To give clean, genuine fun to children of all ages.

To give them examples of the finest types of boyhood and girlhood.

To inspire them with an appreciation of fine pictorial art.

To cultivate the imagination in profitable directions.

To foster a love of country, home, nature, truth, beauty, and sincerity.

To prepare boys and girls for life as it is.

To stimulate their ambitions-but along normally progressive lines.

To keep pace with a fast-moving world in all its activities.

To give reading matter which every parent may pass to his children unhesitatingly (“St. Nicholas Tribute Page”).”

“The child’s magazine must not be a milk-and-water variety of the periodical for adults. In fact, it needs to be stronger, truer, bolder, more uncompromising than the other; its cheer must be the cheer of the bird-song; it must mean freshness and heartiness, life and joy…A child’s magazine is its playground” (Dodge “Children’s Magazines”).

“But what delights us in Milton, Keats, and Tennyson, children often find for themselves in stars, daisies, and such joys and troubles as little ones know” (Dodge “Children’s Magazines” 14).

Mary Mapes Dodge (Jan. 26, 1831 – Aug. 21, 1905)
Editor: Nov. 1873 – Aug. 1905

Mary Mapes Dodge began her career writing various essays and short fiction for adult readers. After a short span of freelancing, Dodge shifted her writing toward a young audience with the release of Irvington Stories, a book of children’s tales, in 1864 (Clarke 19). William Fayal Clarke noted, “So great was [the book’s] popularity that the publisher begged for a second series or sequel” (19-20). She obliged, releasing A Few Friends in 1869. Impressed with her work, Donald G. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher Stowe offered her a position with Heart and Home, a family-oriented paper, as editor to the juvenile and household sections (20). With each issue her reputation as an editor grew until she eventually caught the interest of Dr. J. G. Holland and Roswell Smith, editors of Scribner’s Monthly, with her essay “Children’s Magazines.” They offered her the position of chief editor of a new children’s magazine, St. Nicholas, which she conducted for the final thirty-two years of her life. For her entire run as editor, Dodge did her best to recruit the best writers and illustrators for the magazine, and operated under the mission to bring children a ‘magical playground’ and ‘escape’ through literature.
