Nashville Globe

The Nashville Globe was a black-owned and operated^[1] newspaper serving the African American community in Nashville, Tennessee. It was first published in 1906 during the boycott that followed segregation law imposed on the city's streetcars.^[2] The paper was housed in the R.H. Boyd Building in a part of town that was vibrant with African-American entrepreneurial activity.^[1]^[3] The Nashville Globe was financed by Richard H. Boyd who was secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board.^[2] Following R.H. Boyd's death in 1922, his son, Henry A. Boyd, took over as the paper's editor.^[1] The editors of the Globe, Henry A. Boyd and Joseph O. Battle, used the paper to encourage the support of black-owned businesses in Nashville, to speak out against racial segregation and injustice, and to advance African American education.^[1]

In the 1930s, the Globe merged with the Nashville Independent, another weekly publication, to form the Nashville Globe and Independent.^[1] The Globe closed in 1960 after Henry A. Boyd's death.
