| dbo:abstract | This is a list of African-American newspapers that have been published in Iowa. The first African-American newspaper in Iowa was the of Corning, Iowa, founded in 1882. It was followed the next year by the Des Moines . By far the longest-lasting, however, was the Iowa Bystander, which spanned more than a century. During the peak period of African-American newspaper founding in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the African American population in Iowa was less than 20,000. As a result, the number of such papers established in Iowa is much lower than in some neighboring states such as Illinois. A hotspot of African American newspaper publishing in the early 20th century was Buxton, a coal-mining town that no longer exists. Around eight African-American newspapers were published there in the first decades of the 20th century. (en) |
