NABJ History
NABJ, the nation's largest organization of journalists of color, was founded by 44 men and women on Dec. 12, 1975, in
Washington, D.C. NABJ held its first convention in Oct. 1976 at Texas Southern University. At the time, Texas Southern had
become the first black school of communications in the West and the second in the nation, behind Howard University.For five
years the association functioned without a publication. In the spring of 1981, President Bob Reid launched the NABJ News,
an eight-page newsletter. In 1982, it was renamed the NABJ Journal.
