In this episode, Rebecca Snyder welcomes Frances “Toni” Draper, publisher of the Afro-American Newspapers, to discuss her upcoming book Prayer and Pen, set to release in January 2025. Toni shares the deeply personal and historical journey behind this unique collection of prayers written by her grandfather, Carl Murphy—a prolific writer, journalist, and former editor of the Afro. Together, they explore how these prayers, scribbled on everything from napkins to envelopes, offer insights into Carl Murphy’s spiritual and professional life as he navigated pivotal moments in history, from the March on Washington to his editorial work.
Toni also dives into the Afro’s storied legacy, touching on its archival treasures, its connection to the Black church and civil rights movement, and the family's remarkable contributions to journalism, community building, and justice. This heartfelt episode highlights the timeless relevance of Carl Murphy’s prayers and proverbs, while celebrating the Afro’s dedication to preserving Black history and culture.
Join us as we reflect on the power of prayer, the importance of legacy, and the enduring impact of the Afro on generations past, present, and future.
