The Denver Star (1888–1963), established as The Statesman and also known as Franklin's Paper, The Statesman, [1] was an American weekly newspaper for the African American community. It was published in Denver and was distributed in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and New Mexico. [2] [3]
The newspaper was founded as The Statesman in 1888, by Joseph D. D. Rivers. [2] From 1901 until 1913, the paper was renamed to the Franklin's Paper, The Statesman. [2] In November 1912, the paper was renamed The Denver Star. [2]
