The Louisville Leader was a weekly newspaper published in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1917 to 1950.
The Louisville Leader was a weekly African American newspaper founded by I. Willis Cole in November 1917.[1] By the 1930s, Cole employed twenty people and had a circulation reaching 20,000.[1]
Cole died in February 1950 and his wife tried to continue to publish the newspaper until it eventually stopped that September.[1]
In 1954, the Louisville Defender had called the Leader "one of the largest Negro newspaper organizations" in Louisville.[1] View Jefferson County Sunday School Association for examples of how important this newspaper was in connecting various organizations and keeping everyone aware of local civil rights activities.
