ColorLines Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Currently in its 9th year of publication, ColorLines is the leading national, multi-racial magazine devoted to the creativity and complexity of communities of color. This bimonthly news magazine exposes popular lies, reveals hidden truths, and prioritizes the critical stories other publications ignore. ColorLines discusses and presents the best expressions in literature, art, music, film—and couples them with incisive criticism. Articles are primarily composed of essays, investigative reports, think pieces, opinion columns, cultural criticism, and humor pieces.

Colorlines features articles on a variety of important issues that face communities of color including: HIV/AIDS, Social Security, religion, sexuality, education, welfare, and much more.

Colorlines Magazine was established in 1999 by the Applied Research Center, a public policy institute that advances racial justice through advocacy, research, and journalism. The editors encourage activists, writers, and artists to independently submit proposals, manuscripts, photography and artwork for consideration.
