Before I get to being disgraceful, I want to give a shout out to the entire St. Louis American team for being named The Nation’s Best Black Newspaper yet again. This marks the sixth year in a row that The American has taken home the top honors. I’m not saying this to gloat, though I would be lying if I said it didn’t feel good to have such an awesome streak. But I’m letting y’all know so that you can join in the celebration. This award belongs to all of us. Without your continued support and willingness to trust us with the telling of your stories, we would not be able to have held on to the crown so long. We are so appreciative to have a region that has our back and never ceases to show us love –
it’s amazing to have our city be the shining example for the black press.
