Evidence note (master store)
The University of Illinois Library's Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections post lists the Sunday Chicago Bee (Chicago, Ill.) in its Black Newspapers Collection, with digitized issues running May 1, 1938 – October 20, 1946, and describes the Chicago Sunday Bee as a Black newspaper — establishing The Chicago Bee as a Black newspaper published in Chicago (fetched in full 2026-10-17). The stored 1925 founding year and 1947 end year are not covered by this stamp: digitized holdings are not the publication run.
