Ike Williams III served as an editor of the paper. ^[4]

A Ku Klux Klan member invoked the 5th Amendment but evidence showed he was involved in the bombing of Donal Godfrey 's home, a child who had enrolled in the previously all-white Lackawanna Elementary School, and worked to defeat congressman Charles E. Bennett who he sought to replace with a "real white man". Bennett wrote a column that ran in the Advocate . ^[5]
