The Africo-American Presbyterian was originally published out of Wilmington, North Carolina and later from Charleston, NC, by the Rev. Daniel Jackson Sanders [1847-1907]. Publication may have begun as early as 1880, and under other leadership appears to have later been merged into or superceded by The New Advance, in 1938.
