Description | "The Rights of All," originally known as the Freedom’s Journal, was the pioneering African American newspaper founded in New York, NY from 1827 to 1829 by Samuel E. Cornish and John Brown Russwurm. Dedicated to advocating for African American rights and countering misrepresentation, it covered abolitionist topics, literature, and community improvement. Renamed after Cornish resumed editorship in 1829, it expanded to eight pages, addressing universal emancipation, anti-colonization, and agricultural self-determination. Despite advocating for weekly publication, it ceased around October 1829. Digitized portions are available, contributing to the comprehensive coverage of African American newspapers in the Chronicling America collection. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1829 of this newspaper. |
