Sepia was a magazine that featured articles on the achievements of African Americans. Sepia was founded in 1946 as Negro Achievements by Horace J. Blackwell, an African American clothing merchant from Fort Worth, Texas. In 1950, George Levitan, a Jewish American plumbing merchant bought Blackwell's magazines and Good Publishing Company, and gradually changed the name of Negro Achievements to Sepia. Good Publishing also owned other magazines catered to Black audiences such as Hep, Bronze Thrills, and Jive. After Levitan's death in 1976, Sepia was bought by a member of Blackwell's editorial team, Beatrice Pringle. Pringle ceased publication of Sepia in 1983.
