The Negro World

The Negro world (St. Paul, Minn.; Minneapolis, Minn.) 1892-1900  Browse the title

The Negro World was a four-page, seven column newspaper published weekly from 1892 to 1900. Joseph Houser was editor and publisher, and had publishing offices in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Unlike many other African American newspapers of its time, the Negro World was Democratic in its politics. The paper featured frequent editorials harshly critical of the policies of Republican President William McKinley, of Republicanism in general, which it characterized as a “curse”, and of corporate trusts, which it called “imperial” business interests.

The Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub is a searchable website from the Minnesota Historical Society that makes millions of pages of Minnesota newspapers available online. 

The Hub contains geographically and culturally diverse newspapers published between 1849 and today. Due to potential copyright restrictions most issues published after 1977 can only be accessed from the Gale Family Library at the Minnesota History Center.

The Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub incorporates Minneapolis Tribune titles previously found on a stand-alone website, foreign-language titles, and much more, with new titles and date ranges continuously being added.

The Minnesota Historical Society's newspaper digitization program is made possible through support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP), the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008, SELCO (Southeastern Libraries Cooperating) through a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund for Libraries, and many other organizations and individual donors.
