b'This week, we wrap up our OGs & Young Guns Series with Amelia Ashley-Ward and Evan Ward, the owners and publishers of Northern California\\u2019s oldest Black newspaper, the Sun-Reporter. The paper was founded in 1944 by Thomas C. Fleming and Dr. Carlton Goodlett to give a voice to the growing population of African-Americans in the Bay Area. It quickly became a beacon for Civil Rights activism, and served as a waypoint for prominent Black figures like Malcom X, Muhammad Ali, and the Black Panthers. Even young political figures like Jerry Brown, Willie Brown, and Art Agnos found counsel and inspiration there.\\n\\nAn award-winning journalist herself, Amelia has carried on Dr. Goodlett\\u2019s tradition with great pride and success. Through the Sun-Reporter, she\\u2019s found unique ways to give exposure to the new generation of leaders in the Bay Area\\u2019s Black community, helping them improve and enrich countless lives. She intends to pass this important work onto the next generation, as she is now teaching her sons to run the business.\\n\\nWe felt that Amelia and Evan closed this OGs & Young Guns Series perfectly, and we hope you think so, too! Meet Amelia Ashley-Ward and Evan Ward!\\n\\nFor more information about the Sun-Reporter, please visit: www.thesunreporter.com'
