A message from our founder
Since 1938, the Jackson Advocate has been among the oldest continuously published Black-owned and operated newspapers in the United States. Our motto, “The Voice of Black Mississippians,” is also our mission. We inform our audience about local, national, and global issues affecting their lives, recording histories of challenges, sacrifices, and triumphs. We are more than a newspaper; our advocacy for social justice extends far beyond words printed on paper—we help foster community.
In this season, we reflect on our history and impact to ensure steady steps toward our future goals. We remain dedicated to this work for the long haul. We plan to invest in areas such as digital access and solutions journalism, knowing these changes don’t happen overnight but that each step is crucial to building a stronger community.
As always, we consider the community an essential stakeholder in decisions impacting everyone’s quality of life. We invite you to stand with us, to help us grow, and to ensure that our voice continues to uplift the voices of Black Mississippians. Your investment will support important work that fosters understanding, resilience, and progress.
