Voice of the People
Laurel, Mississippi
The Voice of the People appeared in Laurel, Mississippi in 1926, a four-page weekly serving the Black community in Jones County during a regional timber boom. It ran church announcements, revival notices, local entertainment listings, editorials, and personal news. Only issues from 1926 survive, suggesting the paper was short-lived. Digitized pages provided by Library of Congress, Chronicling America.
