Our Archive: Follow the Development of African-American Culture

ROUTES already came a long way. It started as a print magazine for black entertainment in 1977 with a focus on New York City area.

But a lot has happened since then.

Printing of the glossy magazine was ceased in 1980, later it came back to life in 1990 as a black & white version and since 2015 evolved into an online publication for those interested in the multidimensional African-American culture.

We believe that the print magazine is also a part of African-American history and culture.

And it  should not be lost,  just because the magazine moved to the 21st century and became digital.

Here you can find a list of back issues — browse through them online. Each issue comes with a table of contents and a linked PDF version representing the original layout and style. The PDF versions additionally include events listings and ads, for additional historical value.
