Powell's novice 1941 term in the New York city council was met with a lot of criticism from Harlem journalists. Supporter Charlie Buchanan, along with investor Mo Gale, encouraged Powell to start his own newspaper to mitigate these denunciations. Subsequently, Powell and Buchanan co-founded the Powell-Buchanan Publishing Company in New York City, located on 210 West 125th Street Harlem, New York City, in order to circulate this newspaper.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Influenced by the Communist Party's ideals of a democratic coalition, Powell named the paper <i>The People's Voice.</i><sup id="cite_ref-:5_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:5-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The paper also served other purposes: to propagate Powell's political ideals and set the stage for his eventual Congressional campaign.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Additionally, Powell wanted to distinguish his paper from news companies like his former employer <i>Amsterdam News</i>, which he felt lacked "information for the democratically-minded African American reader".<sup id="cite_ref-:4_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:4-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Powell recruited writers to jump ship from the <i>Amsterdam News</i> to <i>Voice,</i> including journalists Marvel Cooke and St. Claire Bourne<sup id="cite_ref-:6_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After releasing its first issue on February 14, 1942, <i>Voice</i> was published weekly.
