The Savannah Tribune biscuit brunch and sneaker ball

The Savannah Tribune has a proud and glorious heritage. A weekly newspaper covering news and issues related to Savannah’s African American community, The Savannah Tribune, originally named The Colored Tribune, was founded and published its first edition in 1875. Three African-American civic and business leaders, John H. Deveaux, Louis B. Toomer, Sr., and Louis M. Pleasant, recognized the need for a newspaper dedicated to serving the African-American community in Savannah. Since it was established, The Tribune has always been in the forefront of positive efforts to improve the plight of African-Americans, and lift the entire community.
