Description | The Chicago Reflector, believed to have run from 1895 to 1906, was among the African American newspapers emerging in late 19th-century Chicago. With only one known surviving issue, dated October 16, 1897, it showcased a circulation of 3,000 and listed T. P. Rawlings as its editor. Though Rawlings remains obscure, advertisements suggest his involvement in printing and publishing other local weeklies. The issue mirrored small-town papers, featuring local news, social events, and church activities alongside national and international updates. Reflecting the era's racial climate, it covered topics like African American progress post-emancipation and challenged segregation, notably addressing the Alton School Case. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1897 of this newspaper. |
