The Denver Star (1888–1963), established as The Statesman and also known as Franklin's Paper, The Statesman,[1] was an American weekly newspaper for the African American community. It was published in Denver and was distributed in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and New Mexico.[2][3]

History

The newspaper was founded as The Statesman in 1888, by Joseph D. D. Rivers.[2] From 1901 until 1913, the paper was renamed to the Franklin's Paper, The Statesman.[2] In November 1912, the paper was renamed The Denver Star.[2]

Joseph D. D. Rivers was the first owner of the newspaper,[2] followed by Edwin H. Hackley (1892–1898);[2] George F. Franklin (1898–1901); after his death his wife, Clara Williams Franklin and her son, Chester Arthur Franklin who ran the newspaper (1901–1913); followed by Albert Henderson Wade Ross (or A.H.W. Ross) and the Denver Independent Publishing Company (1913–1963).[2][4]

Many of the owners of the newspaper also served as its editor. Editors of the newspaper included Joseph D. D. Rivers,[5][6][7] Charles Segret Muse, Edwin H. Hackley, and Azalia Smith Hackley.[3][8] In 1917, George G. Ross was an associate editor and business manager.[9]

Archived editions of the paper are extant at Chronicling America, Newspapers.com, and at the Denver Public Library.[1][4][10]
