- Description: Digital images of the labor-related newspaper published in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1886-1887 from the UW-La Crosse Archives. The Labor Advocate was unique because its editor and owner, George Edwin Taylor, was an African-American, born in Arkansas in 1857. As a black business owner, he was an anomaly in La Crosse in the 1880s. Taylor got his start in publishing working at other La Crosse newspapers. By 1904 he had left La Crosse and become involved in an all African-American political party called the National Liberty Party, whose nomination as its candidate for U.S. President he accepted that year. In doing so, Taylor was the first candidate of a national African-American party for the U.S. presidency.
