March 13 is when the first Black Daily Newspaper was published.

Founded by William A. Scott III in August 1928 as semi-weekly publication, the Atlanta Daily World would become the first successful African-American daily newspaper in the United States.

On March 13, 1932, the Atlanta Daily World newspaper began running as a daily publication and was the first paper to send an assigned correspondent to the White House.

Reporter Harry S. Alpin became the first person of African American descent to cover the White House on February 8, 1944.
