The Charleston Advocate was a short lived newspaper aimed at the Black community in Low Country South Carolina. Founded by two Methodist Episcopal ministers, one a former USCT chaplain, it advocated for the rights of the freed people. The newspaper closed soon after the assassination of black legislator Benjamin Randolph in broad daylight.
