Lafayette’s Black community was historically centered in one neighborhood, which created strong bonds around shared experiences and institutions. One institution was The Informer, an independent newspaper published by Lafayette resident Jack Lillard. Published from 1969 to around 1972, The Informer remains the only Lafayette newspaper dedicated to Black news.
