The Los Angeles Tribune
*On February 13, 1941, the first issue of the Los Angeles Tribune was published. Almena Lomax, a civil rights activist, published this newspaper between 1941 and 1960, principally for the African American residents of Los Angeles.
The paper was known for its "fearless reporting," including articles about racism in the Los Angeles Police Department. Erna P. Harris was an editor and writer for the Tribune. Contributors to the paper were what we would call a multicultural group today, including whites and Asians. She hired two Japanese writers, Wakako Yamauchi and Hisaye Yamamoto DeSoto, after their release from internment during World War II. Both women went on to achieve distinction as writers of fiction.
The paper ceased publication in 1960.
