The Baltimore Afro-American, commonly known as The Afro or Afro News, is a weekly African-American newspaper published in Baltimore, Maryland.

As in many other states, the late 19th century saw a dramatic growth in Maryland's African American press, with 31 newspapers launched in Baltimore before 1900. [3] Most were short-lived. A notable exception was The Afro-American , which launched in Baltimore in 1892 and continues today.
The newspaper was originally founded as a monthly publication, but it transitioned to a weekly newspaper one month after its first edition. [1] Due to the popularity of The Baltimore Times, the Brambles began publishing Black-focused newspapers dedicated to other areas of Maryland: The Annapolis Times, The Shore Times, The Prince George's County Times, and The Baltimore County Times.
