This archived copy of a historic newspaper with today’s date in Missouri history is the front page of The Missouri Messenger, an African-American weekly. It spotlighted news in the Baptist community and included a combination of local and national news plus advertising. This copy is archived at The Portal to Texas History. We wonder if we shouldn’t get it back?!
