Iowa Bystander

The Iowa Bystander is an Iowa newspaper targeted toward an African-American audience. It was founded in Des Moines on June 8, 1894, by William Coalson. From 1896 to 1922 the publisher was John L. Thompson. In 1922, Thompson sold the newspaper to World War I veteran James B. Morris for $1,700. In the subsequent years, Morris and the paper developed close ties with the NAACP and fought the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in Iowa.^[1]

After James Morris's death in 1977, the newspaper has switched hands several times, but it still publishes under its original motto of "Fear God, Tell the Truth, Make Money".^[2]^[1]
