Detroit Tribune newspaper. Located at 2146 St. Antoine Street,
the newspaper was known as “the leading Negro weekly in
Michigan.” The Detroit Tribune began operating in 1933 and
shortly thereafter merged with the Detroit Independent, becoming
known as the Detroit Independent of Michigan. The periodical
reverted to the name Detroit Tribune in 1935 and was known as
such until 1966 when it ceased operation. The Tribune had several
editors including Ulysses W. Boykin. Boykin also authored A
Hand Book on the Detroit Negro in 1943 and was a key trial witness
in the Mayor Reading graft scandal that exposed the inner
workings of numbers gambling in Detroit. - Title
