All month, we are talking to the people in our community who are making Black history.
Among those trailblazers is Dr. John E. Warren. He is the current publisher of the San Diego Voice and Viewpoint.
Founded in 1960, it is San Diego’s oldest and only African American newspaper and continues to serve communities all across the region.
“Nobody can tell our story like us so we continue to tell our story, and that’s why this paper is the guardian of the Black History in San Diego, as well as history of other places," Dr. Warren said in an interview with Midday Edition.
He sat down with Midday Edition to talk about the Voice and Viewpoint’s legacy, his multitude of careers, and his perspective on journalism and Black history today.
