Black Times: Voices of the National Community was an African-American monthly newspaper published by Khymme Kyongae in Albany, California.[1] It was founded in 1971, and was published until approximately 1976.[1] The publishing location moved to Menlo Park and Palo Alto in later years.[1][2]

History

Jewish computer entrepreneur Eric L. Bakalinsky was named as the chief executive officer of the newspaper and later served as an editor.[3][4][5][6] Theodore Walker was the editor from 1971 until 1972, followed by Khymme Kyongae (also known as Khymme Bakalinsky) in 1972.[7][8] It was a monthly publication, with the goal of eventually becoming a weekly newspaper.[7]

It was described as, "a celebration of Black America for all, aimed at creating awareness of developments in the Black Community".[9] The Black Times advertised a 'Subscribers' Satisfaction Director' named Ethiopia Brown, who would address any concerns. The newspaper ceased publication in approximately 1976 (or possibly as late as 1981).[1][2]
