Chicago Whip
The Chicago Whip (sometimes referred to as simply The Whip) was an African American newspaper in Chicago from 1919 until 1939.[1]
History
In 1919, William C. Linton became the founding editor and publisher of the paper. Linton unexpectedly fell ill and died in March 1922[2] after which Joseph Dandridge Bibb (who previously served as a co-editor for the paper) took over. The paper's "Don't Spend Money Where You Can't Work" campaign advocated for the boycott of white-run businesses with racially discriminatory hiring practices, and the campaign led to over 15,000 Chicago blacks securing jobs.[3] The newspaper was The Chicago Defender's contemporary and rival. Within a year of its launch, The Whip had a circulation of 65,000. 185,000 copies of The Defender were in circulation at the time. The Whip survived until 1939.[4]
