Jet magazine

Black weekly digest

Jet was a weekly African American news magazine published from 1951 to 2014, known for its pocket-sized format and coverage of Black culture, politics, entertainment, and civil rights.

The magazine became iconic for documenting moments in African American history, including the open-casket photograph of Emmett Till that galvanized the civil rights movement.

I saw it in Jet.
