Richmond Free Press Publisher Jean P. Boone receives a citation from 4th District Congressman A. Donald McEachin — a copy of his remarks placed in the Congressional Record commemorating the newspaper’s 25th anniversary. The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate. In remarks he delivered Feb. 13 on the House floor, Rep. McEachin lauded the independent, black-owned Free Press as a “voice for all people since its inception.” He recalled the newspaper’s late founder, Raymond H. Boone, and noted that the Free Press “has altered the media landscape of Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy,” with its award-winning coverage. The Free Press, he said, “does not only chronicle history, it has made history for the last 25 years.” The newspaper celebrated its silver anniversary on Jan. 16.
