This Day in Republican History 4/30/06
April 30, 1862
African-American Republicans in New Orleans establish L’Union, first African-American newspaper in South
L'Union circulated as a biweekly and triweekly. Published primarily in French, the paper ran a few issues in English beginning in 1863. Dr. Louis Charles Roudanez was L'Union's primary financier and Paul Trévigne its editor. Both men were prominent leaders in Louisiana's civil rights movement, and under their direction, the paper primarily spoke for Louisiana's established community of free people of color, although also for slaves and newly freed blacks. The paper suspended publication on July 19, 1864.
