The Palladium of Liberty was an early, short-lived, civil rights paper "devoted to the interests of the colored people generally". Editor David Jenkins established the paper in 1843 with a group of free blacks in the Columbus area. The paper had a strong antislavery stance and lent editorial support to the education of African-American children, temperance, moral reform, and the elective franchise. It was distributed throughout Ohio and eastern states but ceased publication by winter of 1844.
