  Since 1916, the Call & Post has served as an integral resource of 
influence and action for the community, advocating for equal rights as 
well as celebrating the rich African American culture and heritage.
  The Call & Post was birthed into existence by inventor Garrett A. 
Morgan. The paper came into prominence under the direction of William 
Otis Walker, who served as publisher for nearly 50 years. The Call & 
Post continues its legacy of bringing stories and key issues to the 
attention of our community after nearly 95 years of service.
  I commend Donald King, civil rights activist George Forbes, Associate 
Publisher Constance Harper and all employees of the Call & Post for 
their extreme passion and willingness to continue to fight for our 
rights through freedom of speech.
  November 3, 2011, is a day of celebration for the Call & Post for 95 
years of commitment to the African American community. Congratulations 
and may you have continued success in the future!
