Founded in 1883, the Detroit Plaindealer was Detroit's first successful African American newspaper. The paper's managing editor, Robert Pelham Jr., was Detroit's best-known Black political figure of the late 19th century. He helped organize the first nationally-prominent civil rights group, the Afro-American League. The newspaper, which also encouraged support for Black-owned businesses and Black politicians, as a means of promoting racial pride, advocated for the term Afro-American instead of Negro. The Plaindealer ceased publication in 1894. Born in the 1780s as a slave in what is now Macomb County, [Elizabeth Denison Forth] fled to Canada in 1807, returning a free woman around 1812.

In a 1909 article, Northwestern's Dean Wigmore presented a fictional trial of Professor Hugo Muensterberg who, reflecting enthusiasm for his emerging discipline of experimental psychology,2 had overstated what psychology at that point could offer the legal system and had purportedly libeled the legal profession for its neglect of psychological science.3 Although the Wigmore article is often remembered as an attack on Muensterberg, Wigmore also used the fictional trial to urge the legal profession to form a friendly and energetic alliance of psychology and law.
