An Untrammeled Voice: Jack Lillard and The Informer, Lafayette’s Black Newspaper @ The History Center
May 15 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Presented by Matt Meyer, Wabash College Digital Archivist
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.
