Founded by W.A. Scott II to counter biased news accounts about African-Americans, the Atlanta Daily World was intended to "educate, inspire, uplift, and promote the expression of the Southern black community." The archive includes the full content; news articles, photos, ads, obituaries, cartoons, and more and can be cross-searched with other Proquest African-American newspapers, including the Chicago Defender and the Philadelphia Tribune. The Daily World provides a Southern perspective on moments in African-American and American history.
