The Amsterdam News (also known as New York Amsterdam News)[3] is a weekly Black-owned newspaper serving New York City. It is one of the oldest newspapers geared toward African Americans in the United States and has published columns by such figures as W. E. B. Du Bois, Roy Wilkins, and Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and was the first to recognize and publish Malcolm X. It operated from the New York Amsterdam News Building on Seventh Avenue in Harlem from 1916-1938. The building is a National Landmark.
