BLACK CHRONICLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Innovation for social justice has been a trademark for Maloyd Ben Wilson since his college days at the University of Pittsburgh.
While other student groups organized demonstrations, "Ben" Wilson negotiated a friendly take over of nearly half the time slots of the university's radio for Black culture programming. Ben and his neophyte student colleagues used their program time for Blackside; a unique radio political and social justice in America. Ben did all this while playing defense on the University of Pittsburgh Varsity football team and earning a Bachelor's Degree in Communication.
After graduation Ben displayed is talent for communication with a flourish on the sports desk of the nation's premier Black newspaper-the legendary Pittsburgh Courier. He moved his passion for sports from graduation for sports from the gridiron to the typewriter. Asa former college athlete, Ben used his persuasive personality and innate sense of curiosity to 'scoop' the white press with the true inside stories of Pittsburgh's great Black sports stars such as Roberto Clement, Willie Stargell, "Mean" Joe Greene, Franco Harris, and John Stallworth.
Fast forward to the '90's we find Mr. Wilson as a Publisher of his Pittsburgh based Inside Sports. After the sale of this enterprise Ben upped his technology game to the creation of the Sports Video Magazine-a video tabloid that would go in-depth on stories glossed over on ESPN. Unfortunately, this most creative enterprise was breached before leaving port when his video production and distribution partners entered Chapter 11. Not one to stay put on the sideline, Ben evolved from current sports event to Black history with his now famous publication-Black Chronicle.
