The Pittsburgh Courier was an African American weekly newspaper published in Pittsburgh from 1907[1] until October 22, 1966.[2] By the 1930s, the Courier was one of the leading black newspapers in the United States.[3][4]
It was acquired in 1965 by John H. Sengstacke, a major black publisher and owner of the Chicago Defender. He re-opened the paper in 1967 as the New Pittsburgh Courier, making it one of his four newspapers for the African American audience.
