List of African American newspapers in Louisiana

This is a list of African American newspapers that have been published in Louisiana.

However, scholars of the African American press generally exclude the Daily Creole.

[5][3] 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.

[4] 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.
