Pauline Hopkins and Advocacy Journalism

By: Rhone Fraser

In the 1905 letter to William Monroe Trotter, Pauline Hopkins wrote that she lost the editorship of the Colored American Magazine because she "refused partisan lines" and "pursued an independent course." This book focuses on how her editorship promoted an advocacy journalism that sought to abolish Jim Crow. The work of the magazine under her editorship "pursued an independent course" because it included in-depth biographical sketches of those whose lives she, before many, deemed important to know, such as Toussaint L'Ouverture and Harriet Tubman. Hopkins "pursued an independent course" also as a novelist, particularly in her first novel Contending Forces, a work unique for a narrator that tried to, in Hopkins's words, "raise the stigma of degradation from my race." Her following three novels were serialized in the Colored American Magazine. Her 1901 novel Hagar's Daughter is about the attempt of two generations to assimilate within the Washingtonian elite, her 1902 novel Winona exposes the effect of Washington's 1850 Fugitive Slave Law on enslaved children, and her 1903 novel Of One Blood explores what it means for an individual socialized in the West to, in Hopkins's words, "curse the bond of the white race." In Dr. Rhone Fraser's, close reading of her fiction, he looks at how her protagonists in each novel pursue "an independent course" and in his final chapter he compares her essential work to Black journalists of the twenty first century who, like her, "refused partisan lines" and "pursued an independent course." Pauline Hopkins's work was not just the work of a typical journalist, but the work of an advocate.

Clean Pocket Change

A Post '90S Drama

By: Matthew Rhone

Set in the early 2000’s, this lighthearted comedy represents the time when the radio played pop music and grunge music faded away. This reminiscent story will take you back to a time before indoor malls became obsolete and record stores barely existed. In this novel, Kevin moves to Pennsylvania, and joins the army after the Marines. Shortly after joining the army, Kevin’s army unit sets for deployment training in Washington and for eventual deployment abroad. After training and before traveling overseas, Kevin’s army unit grants leave. Kevin reunites with his old female Marine buddy, Toni for Washington State sightseeing. During Kevin’s vacation time, the two remanences on old times, and like old times, conduct in rowdy behavior which could jeopardize their liberty with the police. The two lead on into sitcom-worthy situations, too strange to be true, and encounter unusual people. Their endeavors cover anything from, “tall tales from the sea” to street fighting. As former Marines, some may find the characters’ mannerisms jaded, but they will do almost anything for amusement.
