Title: Eyes: The Negroes’ Own Picture Magazine
Category: African-American
Volume: 1
Issue: 1
Date: April 1946
Published in: Iowa City, IA
A very rare, well-produced but unsuccessful effort at a monthly African-American oriented photographically illustrated general interest magazine. Features include “Church of the Month,” “School of the Month” and “Man of the Month.” Edited by H.I. Fontellio-Nanton and published by William Ferguson. Magazines in this era published specifically for the African-American community are notably scarce and highly sought.
