List of African American newspapers in Nevada explained
This is a list of African American newspapers that have been published in the state of Nevada, which was "the last state to remove itself from the list of states that have never had a Black newspaper" in the mid-20th century.
While the late 19th century saw a flourishing African American press in many other Western states and territories, Nevada's African American population at the time was very low, falling as low as 134 in 1900. As a result, during that early period, "no Negro-owned newspaper, even of the most ephemeral kind, was published in Nevada."
Newspapers
To be included in this list, a periodical should be mentioned in a reliable source as an African American newspaper published in Nevada.
