The Rising Son

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rising Son (1896–1918) was a weekly newspaper published in Kansas City, Missouri.[1] It served African Americans and covered local and national news.[2][3] Lewis Wood edited it. It was purchased from Henry R. Graham by William T. Washington, a newspaperman with political aspirations, who used it to promote his career and an intense rivalry with Nelson C. Crews' Kansas City Sun newspaper developed.[4]
