Obituary
Dean of Black
Press Dies at 69
Pioneering civil rights and
black political journalist George
E. Curry, dean of the Black press
as editor-in-chief for the National
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
tion where he was known for his
riveting weekly commentaries,
died of a heart attack on Saturday,
Aug. 20. He was 69.
Curry began his journalism
career at Sport Illustrated, the
St. Louis Post Dispatch, and then
the Chicago Tribune. But he is
perhaps best known for his ed-
itorship of the former Emerge
Magazine and more recently for
his work as editor-in-chief for the
NNPA, a federation of more than
200 African American newspa-
pers, including the Portland Ob-
server.
His recent work at the NNPA
has ranged from being inside the
Supreme Court to hear oral argu-
ments in the University of Mich-
igan affirmative action cases to
traveling to Doha, Qatar, to report
on America’s war with Iraq.
As editor-in-chief of Emerge,
Curry led the magazine to win
more than 40 national journalism
awards. He is most proud of his

four-year campaign to win the re-
lease of Kemba Smith, a 22-year-
old woman who was given a man-
datory sentence of 24 1/2 years in
prison for her minor role in a drug
ring.
Born in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Curry
graduated from Druid High School
before enrolling at Knoxville Col-
lege in Tennessee. At Knoxville,
he was editor of the school paper,
quarterback and co-captain of the
football team, a student member
of the school’s board of trustees,
and attended Harvard and Yale on
summer history scholarships.
