SPECIAL EDITION, 1.24.22: Former Afro-American Newspaper Publisher Jake Oliver

John Jacob “Jake” Oliver, great-grandson of Afro-American Newspaper founder John J. Murphy and former CEO of the Afro-American Newspapers, was born July 20, 1945, in Baltimore, Maryland. His entrance into sixth grade was used to integrate the previously all-white John E. Howard Elementary School. Oliver attended Garrison Junior High School and graduated from Baltimore City College High School in 1963. He attended the University of Maryland for two years, but transferred to Fisk University in Nashville. Oliver graduated from Fisk University in 1969 where he was a student leader. He went on to Columbia University Law School where he earned his J.D. degree in 1972.

From 1972 to 1978, Oliver practiced corporate law as an associate with the firm of Davis, Polk, and Wardell in New York City.

Since taking over the helm, Oliver has overhauled the Afro-American Newspapers and the African American (the AFRO) publishing business, resulting in increased circulation. Today, the AFRO is digitally connected to three offices in Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Richmond as well as its printer in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
