Southwestern Christian Advocate

The Southwestern Christian Advocate (1877 - 1929) was a widely distributed newspaper for the African American community in the Southern United States. Like the Christian Advocate published in New York City, the publication targeted a Methodist audience. It was printed in New Orleans, Louisiana. It featured a "Lost Friends" section for people searching for loved ones lost to slavery.[1] It was an official publication of the Methodist Orthodox Church.[2]

Joseph C. Hartzell was an editor at the paper. Hiram Rhodes Revels was also an editor.

The Library of Congress has microfilm of the paper in its collection.[3]
