Description | The Advance, founded in 1899 in Wilmington, Delaware, was a weekly newspaper edited and owned by P. H. Murray. It was Republican in politics, Christian in religion, and aimed to advance the moral and industrial status of African Americans. The paper endorsed Republican candidates, including William McKinley for president in 1900. It focused on national issues and highlighted inequalities between African Americans and whites. For example, it reported that public school spending in the South was five times higher for white children than for African American children. The Advance ceased publication likely in 1901.
