Freedom's Journal was the first newspaper written and published by African-Americans (then called "Negroes"). It was mainly the work of John Russwurm, although Samuel Cornish contributed to some of the first editions. Freedom's Journal first appeared in mid-March 1827, publishing articles of interest to a black audience: abolitionist-related articles about slavery and lynching, as well as other national and international news. The newspaper also had opinion and editorial pieces. It refuted stereotypes about what black people were capable of achieving, and addressed issues of racism in American society.
