Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox newspaper Africo-American Presbyterian was a religious weekly newspaper for African American missionaries published from 1879 until 1938 by the Africo-American Presbyterian Publishing Company[1] and Daniel J. Sanders in Wilmington, North Carolina, U.S.[2][3] The paper was not an official publication by the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), however it did provide a needed Black perspective.[4]

History

The Africo-American Presbyterian newspaper published articles that highlighted racial injustice and violence.[4] In April 1925, Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) conducted research and gathered statistics on Black lynchings.[4] The Africo-American Presbyterian editorial page strongly condemned such acts of violence in response to the work at Tuskegee, meanwhile the PCUSA did not take as strong stance at that time.[4] The newspaper also supported Black voting rights, many decades before the 1965 Voting Rights Act.[4]

Past issues can be found at online at DigitalNC,[5] the Chronicling America archives,[6][7] the Pearl Digital Collection by the Presbyterian Historical Society,[8] and others.
