Description | The Afro-American Citizen, a weekly newspaper published in Charleston, South Carolina, from 1899 to around 1902, remains a mystery to scholars due to the scarcity of surviving issues. Led by editor Louis George Gregory and business manager Reverend Samuel S. Youngblood, the paper advocated for the interests of African Americans, emphasizing their rising status in society. Its content ranged from local gossip to coverage of national and international events, reflecting the cultural and intellectual life of black Charleston at the turn of the 20th century. Despite its brief existence, the Afro-American Citizen played a significant role in promoting the achievements and concerns of the African American community. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1900 of this newspaper. |
