Description: Black Sports Magazine, launched in April 1971 in New York City, was a pioneering monthly publication aimed specifically at African Americans. Created by Allan P. Barron, who served as president and editor, the magazine represented a significant addition to sports journalism. Barron partnered with William L. Doneghy, the vice-president and controller, to bring this vision to life. In 1971, notable journalist Bryant Gumbel briefly served as editor before departing the following year. Despite its innovative approach, the magazine struggled with circulation and ultimately ceased publication after its final issue in June 1978. This issue, Volume 1, Number 1, features striking cover images of basketball legends Oscar Robertson and Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in their Milwaukee Bucks jerseys. The magazine is in good condition, exhibiting wear that includes soiling, minor stains, faded areas, and discoloration.
