John Brown Russwurm editor from 1830-1834
From 1830 to 1834, its chief editor was a Jamaican-born mulatto educated in Canada, John Brown Russwurm. He resigned in early 1835 and along with Samuel Cornish went on to co-found the Freedom's Journal, the first black newspaper in the United States [1]. The Liberian National Museum in Monrovia is in possession of some of the earliest editorials of The Herald[2]. [edit] References[edit] External links
