The Nubian Message began publication in response to student protests alleging racial bias by the Technician. Tony Williamson served as the paper’s first editor-in-chief, and the paper was released in the Talley Student Center. In the inaugural issue, Williamson stated his intention to "totally, truthfully, and faithfully cover every aspect of African American life at NCSU" and his hope that the Nubian Message would become "the media voice for African Americans at NC State." Because the Nubian Message received no University funding and Nubian staff were prohibited from using NC State media equipment, the first issue was published with assistance from North Carolina Central University. Following publication of the first issue, the University allowed Nubian staff to utilize campus media equipment.
