The Oakland Sunshine was an early Black-owned newspaper in Oakland, California, published from the late 1890s into the early 1920s. Founded by John A. Wilds, it served the city’s growing African American community with coverage of local news, politics, church life, and civil rights issues at a time of widespread segregation. The paper also helped document Black migration and community building in the Bay Area before ceasing publication around 1922.
