The ''Chicago Whip'' (sometimes referred to as simply ''The Whip'') was a militant African-American newspaper in Chicago from 1919 until 1939.

History

In 1919, William C. Linton became the founding editor and publisher of the paper. Linton unexpectedly fell ill and died in March 1922, after which Joseph Dandridge Bibb (who previously served as a co-editor for the paper) took over. The paper's "Don't Spend Money Where You Can't Work" campaign advocated for the boycott of white-run businesses with racially discriminatory hiring practices, and the campaign led to over 15,000 Chicago blacks securing jobs.
