Delilah Leontium Beasley (September 9, 1867 – August 18, 1934), was a historian and newspaper columnist for the Oakland Tribune in Oakland, California.[1][2] Beasley was the first African American woman to be published regularly in a major metropolitan newspaper.[3][4] Beasley was also first to present written proof of the existence of California's black pioneers in Slavery in California (1918) and The Negro Trail-Blazers of California (1919). Her career in journalism spanned more than 50 years. She detailed the racism in California and the heroic achievements by Blacks to overcome them during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
