Description
An account of the resource
This drawing in the <a title="Indianapolis Freeman" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/199"><em>Indianapolis Freeman</em></a> shows Uncle Sam standing impotently before a robed figure, Ethiopia, as she gestures toward the shooting of innocent African American men and women, and a burning church. “See how my people are murdered, maltreated and outraged in the South,” Ethiopia says, “and you, with a great army and navy, are taking no measures to prevent it.” Ethiopia was a recurring figure in <em>Freeman</em> iconography, who represented strong advocacy of equal protection and due process.

Description
An account of the resource
Edward E. Cooper was born in Florida in 1859. He founded short-lived <em>Colored World</em> in Indianapolis in 1878, which was later revived as the Indianapolis <em>World</em>. He founded the <a title="Indianapolis Freeman" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/199"><em>Indianapolis Freeman</em></a> in July 1888 as a politically independent, national newspaper. Within a few months, he expanded and changed the paper's format, making the <em>Freeman</em> the nation's first African American illustrated newspaper. The paper’s satirical cartoons were so pointed that they sometimes drew criticism from the African American community. In 1893, Cooper left as <em>Freeman </em>editor to found the <em>Colored American</em> in Washington, DC.

An account of the resource
The Indianapolis<em> Freeman </em>was a weekly newspaper first published in 1888 by editor <a title="Edward E. Cooper" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/200">Edward E. Cooper</a>. As the nation’s first illustrated African American newspaper, it was considered by the Indianapolis <em>Journal </em>to be the “best paper published in the interests of colored people.” Under Cooper’s editorship, the paper was a Democratic-leaning, but politically independent national press, sometimes referred to as the “Colored’s <em>Harper’s Weekly</em>.” In 1892, Cooper sold the press to <a title="George L. Knox" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/198">George L. Knox</a>, who transformed it into a pro-Republican paper, which fully supported Booker T. Washington's philosophy of accommodation.

Description
An account of the resource
<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5;">Moses L. Tucker was an engraver, illustrator and caricaturist from Atlanta, Georgia. Little is known of his history, but in the late 1880s and early 1890s, he produced a range of satirical cartoons for the <a title="Indianapolis Freeman" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/199"><em>Indianapolis Freeman</em></a>. The editor, <a title="Edward E. Cooper" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/200">Edward E Cooper</a>, introduced Tucker in 1889 as an expert in lampooning African Americans, with prior experience with an humorous newspaper in Atlanta called the Georgia <em>Cracker</em>. <em>Freeman </em>readers appreciated Tucker's civil rights drawings but roundly critiqued his more negative portrayals of rural African Americans.</span>
