The Liberator is an early twentieth-century news periodical that chronicled issues and events for Los Angeles's African American community. With the slogan, “Devoted to the Cause of Good Government and the Advancement of the Afro-American,” founder and editor Jefferson Lewis Edmonds highlighted the role of politics in improving the quality of life for African Americans in Los Angeles, while also critiquing injustices around the country.
