Born in 1946 to devout Black Catholic parents who instilled in him resilience, faith, and ambition, Wycliff was part of a generation that came of age during the Civil Rights Movement and the nation's slow march toward equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book traces his journey through transformative moments: winning a scholarship to the University of Notre Dame, living through the assassination of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther raid in Chicago, and discovering the power of journalism to reveal truth and hold power accountable. More than a chronicle of a journalist's life, Before the Byline is a meditation on family, faith, race, and democracy. It explores how one man's roots-in community, in church, and in history-nurtured a calling to tell stories that matter and to fight for a more inclusive America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 174\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154008178751,"sku":"9798992733129","price":51.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/hPjPaMafRi9798992733129.webp?v=1776952887","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/before-the-byline-a-journalists-roots-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
