Chapin and Joseph Pulitzer. Morris said he chose to write about Ethel Payne when he was searching for a topic for his next biography and noticed her name on a list of important journalists. <\/p>\n<p>After researching Payne, Morris said he was surprised to find that no one had written the story her life. \u201cWhen I looked at her life, I thought \u2026\u2018This is a great story,\u2019\u201d Morris said. \u201cIt also turned out to be a historically important story.\u201d Morris said he had three purposes for the book: to chronicle Payne\u2019s journey from the South Side of Chicago to the height of journalism, to show readers how the civil rights struggle looked through her eyes and to bring attention to the African American press, a part of journalism history Morris said he believes is all too often ignored. <\/p>\n<p>To spread the word about \u201cEye on the Struggle,\u201d Morris has spent this week in Chicago and interviewed with media outlets such as \u201cChicago Tonight\u201d and WBEZ. Morris is currently working on his next book, set to be published by Da Capo Press in 2017, entitled \u201cThe Ambulance Drivers: Hemingway and Dos Passos: Literary Lives in War and Peace.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mather first heard about Payne from Morris, who contacted the school while conducting research for his new book, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/9780062198853\/eye-on-the-struggle\" target=\"_blank\">Eye on the Struggle: Ethel Payne, the First Lady of the Black Press<\/a>.\u201d Morris plans to spend the day at Lindblom speaking with students on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>According to Morris, Lindblom High School had a profound effect on Payne. At the time Payne attended the school, a majority of its students were white.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt prepared her for a life in which she would work in a white culture as an aggressive reporter,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n<p>Morris added that he hopes learning about Payne will inspire students at Lindblom to believe in their own abilities to create societal change.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10471\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/Eye-Cover-NEW.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10471\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/Eye-Cover-NEW-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"James McGrath Morris, a biographer and columnist, recently published his book about Chicago native and groundbreaking journalist, Ethel L.

And Ethel Payne fulfilled that without in any way betraying the tenets of journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Ethel Payne interviews Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson.
