Description | The Voice of the People was a four-page weekly newspaper established in Laurel, Mississippi, in March 1926 to serve the African American community in the Piney Woods region. While larger white-owned newspapers covered national and foreign news, the Voice of the People focused on local events and interests. It included announcements about religious gatherings, local entertainments like the "Colored Peoples Fair," and editorials on various topics. Personal news such as marriages, births, and deaths were also featured, along with advertisements for services like vocal and music lessons. Despite its brief existence, the Voice of the People provided valuable representation for an underserved population in the community. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1926 of this newspaper. |
