The Reflector was a weekly newspaper in Charlottesville, Virginia, that ran from 1933 to at least 1935.[1] Edited by T. J. Sellers, it called itself "Charlottesville's Only Negro Weekly."[2] It included articles on local and national news, social columns, and editorials and articles on topics of particular interest to black readers such as racial identity, lynching, and famous African Americans.[2] The publication captured aspects of life under Jim Crow laws in this small city, including a regular feature on events at segregated Jefferson High School.[1] In 2003, a new Charlottesville newspaper began publication as The African American Reflector, in honor of the original newspaper's editor.[3]

In a 1934 issue, the editors noted that along with its Black readership, 200 white Charlottesville residents also were "regular subscribers" to the paper.[4]
