| 释义 |
The paper was founded by Forrest White Woodard, who was born in Norfolk, Virginia on February 12, 1886.[2] He moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a young man, where he worked at a number of different jobs and operated a number of businesses (including a used car lot and a real estate business) before establishing The Philadelphia Independent in 1931. He was joined by his second wife, Kathryn "Kitty" Fambro Woodard (1911-2003) who took over the day-to-day operation of the newspaper after his death on March 2, 1958.[3] She ran the paper until she sold it in 1966. Throughout its history, the Independent competed with the Philadelphia Tribune for black readers. Kitty Woodard told The Philadelphia Inquirer in a 1997 interview, "The Independent was for the masses. The Tribune had always been the paper for the upper class. We were militant. We weren't afraid to take on issues like they were."[4] References1. ^{{cite web|title=About The Philadelphia independent.
