Journalist and civil rights
leader T. Thomas Fortune was
the most prominent black Ameri­
can journalist in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.
Born a slave in Marianna,
Fla., Fortune discovered polities
and journalism as a youth. His
father, Emanuel, was a Recon­
struction politician in Florida; the
younger Fortune worked as a
page in the state senate and
learned the printer’s trade at a
Jacksonville newspaper. His
meager formal education in­
cluded F reedm en's Bureau
schools in Florida and one year
as a preparatory student at
Howard University.
Fortune moved to New' York
City in 1881, where over the
next two decades he achieved
fame as the militant and maver­
ick editor or owner of a news­
paper named first the Globe,
then the “Freeman,” and finally
the “New York Age.”
A largely self-taught writer
and orator of eloquence. For­

agitator" well before the much-
publicized disputes between the
followers of Booker T Wash­
ington and W. E. B. Du Bois.
Fortune demanded enforcement
of black civil rights and attacked
the growing wave of indiffer­
ence toward the plight of south­
ern freed men, a position he
explored in his "Black and White:
Land, Labor, and Polities in the
South" (1884).
Fortune led the effort to cre­
ate the National Afro-Ameri­
can League in 1889. After four
years of faltering support, the
league collapsed but reemerged
in 1898, again with Fortune at
the center, as the National Afro-
American Council. The meager

Fortune’s modern
legacy also includes
his advocacy of the
term A fro-A m eri­
can for his people
rather than Negro or
colored. He believed
it was the most ac­
curate term, arguing that blacks
were “African in origin and
American in birth.”
Fortune's political allegiances
were more paradoxical. He in­
termittently supported and ex­
coriated the Republicans during
his career, abandoning them
over their betrayal of racial
equality in 1888 and endorsing
Grover Cleveland, the Demo­
crat, for president. Even more
complex was Fortune’s long
relationship with Booker T.
W ashington. The pow erful
Tuskegee president secretly fi­
nanced Fortune’s underfunded
newspaper. Fortune’s militance
seemed to be the antithesis of
W a sh in g to n 's
a c co m m o ­
d atio n ™ , but the two men had
in common theirorigins and their
belief in black economic self-
determination. Fortune assisted
Washington in creating the Na­
tional Negro Business League
and loyal ly served hi m as a ghost
writer. But alliances with the
Wizard of Tuskegee were risky
business; Fortune had serious
financial problems and hoped
that W ashington's influence
would bring him a political ap­
pointment. Instead, this slippery
political path led to his condem­
nation by followers of Du Bois,
severe bouts with alcoholism,
and abandonment by Washing­
ton. Fortune sold his interest in
the Age and experienced a ner­
vous breakdown in 1907.
After many years of appar­
ent destitution, he recovered in
the 1920s, inspired by though
never a complete convert of

Garvey's journal, the “Negro

the ranks of W ashington's crit­
ics, apologized for his ideologi­
cal waywardness, and observed
that "all along the way I have

gathered the fruit."
