The Mildred D. Brown Memorial Study Center is a tribute to Mildred D. Brown, the founder of The Omaha Star newspaper in 1938, which remains Nebraska's only Black-owned newspaper. The center aims to provide access to the Omaha Star's archive materials and resources, promoting the future of community-based media and inspiring career possibilities in journalism and communications, particularly for African-American students.
The Omaha Star, in existence for over 80 years, has been Nebraska's largest African-American newspaper and has played a significant role in the community. Through the Junior Journalist Program, the center offers hands-on training and valuable experience to local participants, fostering the next generation of journalists.
