The Facts Newspaper

The Facts Newspaper holds distinction of being the pioneering Black-oriented newspaper in the Pacific Northwest. It was founded by Fitzgerald Redd Beaver in September 1961 and the first office was at 2765 E Cherry Street. It subsequently transitioned to a new location a decade ago and the newspaper legacy is continued under Mrs. Elizabeth Beaver Jackson stewardship- widow of the late Mr. Beaver. Her children are helping her run the business.
