The Mississippi Enterprise was one of two African-American newspapers in Jackson, Mississippi. Arrington High worked at the paper.[2] Publication years include 1939–1980.[3] The paper covered lynchings and murders of African Americans. It advocated for African Americans to support African-American businesses in Mound Bayou, Mississippi,[3] a historically African-American community founded by freed slaves. The Library of Congress has an archive of the paper.[4]
It was one of five African-American newspapers in Mississippi in the 1950s.[5]
