List of African-American newspapers in Louisiana
This is a list of African-American newspapers that have been published in Louisiana. It includes both current and historical newspapers. The first African-American newspaper in Louisiana was "L'Union", a French-language newspaper launched in 1862. The first daily African-American newspaper in Louisiana, and in the entire country, came two years later with "La Tribune de la Nouvelle-Orléans". Notably, although the Louisiana Creole people were not considered Black until after the Civil War, the history of African-American newspapers in Louisiana is sometimes considered to begin with the "New Orleans  Daily Creole", a Creole pro-slavery newspaper launched in 1856. However, scholars of the African-American press generally exclude the "Daily Creole". Although "L'Union" was the first African-American newspaper in Louisiana, it was not the state's first African-American periodical: starting in 1843 a successful African American literary magazine was published in New Orleans, titled "L'Album Litteraire, Journal des Jeunes Gens". Many African-American newspapers are published in Louisiana today; they are highlighted in green in the list below. The oldest such newspaper still in publication is "The Shreveport Sun", established in 1920. List of African-American newspapers
