African American Newspapers in North CarolinaThis guide lists African American newspapers published in North Carolina from the 19th-century through the present. Most of these titles are held in the North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This is an attempt to list every African American newspaper published in the state, but we recognize that there may be omissions and welcome suggestions. This guide was prepared by Russell Michalak, August 2005.
