Description | The Aliened American, founded by William Howard Day in 1853, was a pioneering African American newspaper in Ohio. Born in New York City and educated at Oberlin College, Day was deeply involved in journalism and activism. The paper was established to advocate for the rights of African Americans, who were marginalized and disenfranchised by state and national governments. It provided a platform for African American voices and covered political, social, and cultural events relevant to the community in Cuyahoga County and Cleveland. The Aliened American was progressive for its time, featuring contributions from African American and White women and addressing issues such as race, education, and literature. Despite facing challenges in acquiring subscribers and advertisers, the paper made significant contributions to the African American press before suspending publication in the mid-1850s. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1853 of this newspaper. |
