- On January 7, 1837 Phillip A. Bell began to publish a weekly newspaper called the Weekly Advocate under the editorship of Robert Sears. From the beginning, one of the major goals of this newspaper was to educate its subscribers, and much information appeared in a list format. On March 4, 1837, issue number 9 of the newspaper was published under the new name of The Colored American.
