Liberia Herald

It was founded by Charles Force who died shortly after the first issue was published.

In March 1827 Samuel Cornish and John B. Russwurm founded Freedom's Journal, the first African American newspaper in New York, as co-editors.

From 1830 to 1834, the chief editor of the Liberia Herald was a Jamaican-born mulatto educated in Canada, John Brown Russwurm.
