Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This is the 16th issue of the BLK magazine published March 1990. The front cover features a black and white image of Cleo Manago from the waist up, with him leaning forward on his right arm and wearing a coat over a long-sleeved shirt. At the top and to the left, [BLK] is printed in bold, white, uppercase letters within a fuchsia rectangular textbox. Presumably, the issue and date [Number 16, March 1990] are printed below [BLK] also in white text, but the fuchsia rectangular textbox is largely obscured by the image of Manago. At the bottom left corner of the cover, there is white text that reads [Cleo Manago]. There are 44 numbered pages, with articles, advertisements, classifieds, black and white photographs, and cartoon illustrations throughout. The inside of the cover features an ad for the [Minority AIDS Project] for their [Say Sister: A Woman’s Program].
