Call & Post

The Call & Post, founded by Garrett Morgan and pioneering Black businessmen, has been publishing every week since 1916 and merged with the Cleveland Post in 1929. As the only African-American owned, general circulation newspaper in Cleveland that conforms to the Ohio Revised Code’s definition of a newspaper of general circulation, it has earned a distinctive and loyal paid readership through its commitment to fighting for justice and equality. The newspaper has become a trusted friend while reporting the triumphs and tragedies of generations of Black people in Ohio and the nation, offering a unique perspective respected by people of all races and serving as a catalyst for change in Ohio. The Call & Post's story is one of tribulations and dreams, strain and struggle, goals achieved and dreams still waiting to be fulfilled.
