List of African-American newspapers in South Carolina
This is a list of African-American newspapers that have been published in South Carolina. It includes both current and historical newspapers. More than 130 such newspapers were published in the state between 1865 and 1970.[1] The first was the South Carolina Leader, established at Charleston in 1865.[2] In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the growth of the African-American press in South Carolina was hampered by the fact that a large proportion of South Carolina African Americans lived in poverty in the countryside.[1]
