“Righteousness Exalteth a Nation.” Freedom’s Journal, the first Black-edited newspaper published in the United States, covered a range of issues, from anti-slavery movements and history to education and uplift to poetry and fiction. The paper was founded in New York City in 1827 by a collective of Black activists for “the dissemination of useful knowledge among our brethren,” with Samuel Cornish and John Russwurm as editors. Freedom’s Journal routinely published poetry and fiction by Black writers, including “Theresa: A Haytien Tale,” the first known short story published by a Black writer.
