Description | The Seattle Republican, Seattle's pioneering African American newspaper, emerged as a resilient voice amidst a transient landscape of similar publications in the late 19th century. Founded in 1894 by Horace Cayton Sr., a former slave turned college-educated editor, it endured until 1913, representing Republican Party ideals with a keen focus on national and local affairs. With Cayton's astute leadership and his wife Susie Revels' support, the paper advocated African American migration and addressed pressing issues of employment and political engagement. Despite facing adversities and legal challenges, the Republican remained steadfast in its commitment to honest reporting and social advocacy. While its readership remained modest, Cayton's enduring legacy shaped the narrative of minority empowerment in Seattle's burgeoning community.
