    • The American Catholic Tribune was a newspaper for African Americans published in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1886 to 1894 and then in Detroit until 1897. Daniel Rudd was its editor.
      Rudd, who had been enslaved, established its predecessor, the Ohio State Tribune in Springfield, Ohio. He moved to Cincinnati and renamed it, a reorganization to make it national. He also organized the Colored Catholic Congress which met in 1889 and continued until 1894. The paper reached the 10,000 circulation mark before an economic downturn took its toll and it ceased operation in 1897.
      Rudd was from Bardstown, Kentucky. Historical markers commemorate his work and legacy in Bardstown, Kentucky and Springfield, Ohio.
      Rudd started a newspaper in Springfield, Ohio with James T. Whitson in 1885. They relocated to Cincinnati in 1886. They received support from Archbishop William Henry Elder.
