HISTORY OF DRUM MAGAZINE (Video) - NEW BLACK KNOWLEDGE YOUTUBE (4499 hits)
Team NBK present the History of Drum Magazine.
Drum was started in 1951, as African Drum by former test cricketer and author Bob Crisp and Jim Bailey an ex-R.A.F. pilot, son of South African financier Sir Abe Bailey.
Initially under Crisp's editorship, the magazine had a paternalistic, tribal representation of Africans, but within a short time Crisp was replaced and the emphasis moved to the vibrant urban black townships.
