## Resource

Tony Brown, legendary journalist and educator who died at 93, was a fearless pioneer who brought Black history, politics, and community issues to national audiences through groundbreaking reporting and teaching. His PBS show “Tony Brown’s Journal” was the longest-running public affairs series in network history, exposing critical stories like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment and the Tulsa Race Riot. He helped organize Dr. King’s 1963 Detroit march and founded Howard University’s journalism school, shaping generations of media professionals. Guided by his motto “No Black Lies. No White Lies. Only the Truth,” Brown championed accountability, self-help, and economic independence, leaving an indelible legacy that transformed public television and empowered voices long ignored.
