America owes Bryan Monroe a debt of gratitude Remembering a journalism stalwart who centered his focus on the Black community

Let’s begin remembering Bryan Monroe in the way he so often unabashedly did himself. I did the first interview with Barack Obama after he was elected president – and I did the last interview with Michael Jackson before he died. Bryan was rightly proud of those achievements. They were focal points of his three-year tenure as vice president and editorial director at the Ebony and Jet magazines in Chicago. The magazines’ coverage of Obama’s monumental campaign and election, not to mention other critical issues affecting the Black community, were unquestionably invigorating and always on point. For that, all of America owes Bryan a debt of gratitude. And yet for many journalists across the country, in the hours after he died of a heart attack on Jan. 13 at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, at just 55 years old, his professional accolades paled compared with the humanity he exuded in countless measures over the years. Bryan was vice president-print during the tw...

I’ve long found these sorts of proclamations baffling, because if one is honest about the history of the United States, it prominently features white violence , terrorism , and revanchism , particularly toward Black people , Indigenous people , and women . Such attitudes have been codified within our laws and institutions, and it has taken enormous, multigenerational work to chip away at the bigotry that metastasizes within our nation. Even now, we witness the defanging of the Voting Rights Act or the Violence Against Women Act, attacks on Black churches, synagogues and mosques, and the daily deployment of police officers on calls that originate with racist grievance . Donald Trump supporters swarm the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. on...
