This article was part of a series on “why it is so necessary for Negroes in all sections of the city to register and vote.” Here are a few examples:
On January 3, 1959, the Tribune described the election of Robert N.C. Nix Sr. as “by far the most outstanding event of 1958 to Negroes. For as far back as 1933, the Tribune had been campaigning for the election of a Negro Congressman, as it crusaded for Negro judges, councilmen, police inspectors, captains and lieutenants...and the election of Mr. Nix as United States Representative from the Fourth Congressional District by a majority of more than 38,000 votes was the crowning point of a year which saw Negroes realize great progress in many fields of endeavor.”
