One of many resources RPL is proud to offer.
During the early 1950’s Rockford’s three daily papers, the Rockford Morning Star and the Rockford Register Republic, and The Rockford Labor News did not publish many stories beyond “crime news”
about or of interest to the Rockford African-American community.
Mr. Joseph Scott Saunders, Jr. single-handedly created and produced The Crusader, in an effort to bring balance to Rockford’s news offerings and reporting of the African-American experience within our community.
