The Jacksonville Advocate was a weekly newspaper for African Americans in Jacksonville, Florida established in 1891.[1]
It was succeeded by The Jacksonville Advocate-Free Press from 1987 to 1990[2] and the Jacksonville Free Press.
The University of Florida has a May 30, 1896 edition in its collection posted online.[3]
Ike Williams III served as an editor of the paper.[4]
A Ku Klux Klan member invoked the 5th Amendment but evidence showed he was involved in the bombing of Donal Godfrey's home, a child who had enrolled in the previously all-white Lackawanna Elementary School, and worked to defeat congressman Charles E. Bennett who he sought to replace with a "real white man". Bennett wrote a column that ran in the Advocate.[5]
