The Seattle Republican was a weekly newspaper in Seattle from 1894 to 1913,[1] and is considered Seattle's first successful African American newspaper.[2] Its founder, Horace R. Cayton Sr., was a former slave in the American South.[3] Clayton's wife, Susie Revels Cayton, was associate editor starting in 1900 and she contributed articles and short stories.[1] The newspaper sought to portray "the black race" in a positive manner and hoped to create harmony between races through open discussion of sensitive race issues. This upset white readership and likely contributed to the newspaper's closing.[1] The newspaper is part of the collection of the Library of Congress.[4]
