The Eagle Dispatch was a Black-owned weekly newspaper published in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the early twentieth century. Edited by W.S. Boswell, the paper served African American readers by covering community news, politics, social issues, and events overlooked by mainstream white newspapers during the Jim Crow era. Though few surviving issues remain digitized today, the publication forms part of Louisiana’s rich Black press history.
