With credentials like that, I knew it wouldn't do much good to apply to The Wall Street Journal." When the Burns were expecting their first child he became the national editor of the Chicago Defender where he remained from 1941 - 1945, the editor of Negro Digest from 1942 - 1954, and the executive editor of Ebony from 1945 - 1954 (The layout of the first issue was assembled on the Burns' kitchen table.), Jet from 1950 - 1954, Sepia from 1955 - 1958 and Guns magazine from 1956 - 1958. He was later the vice president of a public relations firm, Cooper, Burns and Golin, from 1958 - 1966. He returned to journalism as the editor of the Chicago Daily Defender from 1966 - 1967 and the editor of Sepia from 1968 - 1977. As New/As New.

The book is still in the publisher's original shrink wrap. The fascinating autobiography. Burns' membership in the Young Communist League after his college years limited his employment opportunities in the world of journalism.

With credentials like that, I knew it wouldn't do much good to apply to The Wall Street Journal." When the Burns were expecting their first child he became the national editor of the Chicago Defender where he remained from 1941 - 1945, the editor of Negro Digest from 1942 - 1954, and the executive editor of Ebony from 1945 - 1954 (The layout of the first issue was assembled on the Burns' kitchen table.), Jet from 1950 - 1954, Sepia from 1955 - 1958 and Guns magazine from 1956 - 1958. He was later the vice president of a public relations firm, Cooper, Burns and Golin, from 1958 - 1966. He returned to journalism as the editor of the Chicago Daily Defender from 1966 - 1967 and the editor of Sepia from 1968 - 1977. As New/As New.
