Sumario:	This article traces the history of the first African American newspapers in the southern United States and their publisher Louis Charles Roudanez. "L'Union," begun in New Orleans, Louisiana and dedicated to ending oppression of black people, closed in 1864 due to threats. Two days later, "La Tribune de la Nouvelle Orleans" or "The New Orleans Tribune," began publishing under the same management as "L'Union." It continued until 1870 when it closed due to disputes between principles.
