The Charlottesville-Albemarle Tribune was a weekly newspaper in Charlottesville, Virginia published by and for African-American residents of the city.

While the title suggests that the paper covered Charlottesville and Albemarle County, the paper covered news from surrounding counties of Greene,[4][5] Culpeper,[6] Orange,[7] and Nelson[8] counties as well.

Founded in 1954 by Randolph Lewis White,[9] it bore the name Charlottesville-Albemarle Tribune through 1992, a year after White's death. At that time, the name changed to The Tribune, and this paper ran until 2011.[2]

Sherman White co-published the newspaper with Randolph White for many years. Randolph L. White was the editor, Mrs. Donna Reaves was the society editor, and Sherman R. White was the advertising representative[10] as well as the author of a column called, "Spotlight on Sports"[11][12]. Both men were heavily involved in desegregation efforts in Charlottesville, and the paper contributed important reporting and editorials to the debates in Charlottesville over School integration and Massive resistance.[13]

The newspaper included national columnists such as Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.,[14][15] Wiley Harris,[16] and Bayard Rustin,[17] as well as a column from Virginia House Delegate Thomas J. Michie, Jr.[18] For many years, the newspaper included local society columns covering various regions in the area, including Proffit,[19] Howardsville,[20] Nelson County,[21] Orange County,[7] Radiant,[22] Cumberland,[23] Keene,[24] Cismont,[25] Shenandoah Valley,[26] Yancey Mills,[27] Louisa County,[28] and Charlottesville.[29]

In Charlottesville society news, the newspaper would cover such information as meetings of The Phyllis Wheatley Club, The B Square Club, the Bethune Art and Literary Club, The Lucky Twenty Club, the Taylor Art Club, and the Mt. Zion Social Club.[30] In editions after holidays, the paper would also cover when households traveled to visit far-flung relatives, or when out-of town visitors came to visit a church or parishioner homes.[31]

In 1974, the paper also included a society editor, Mrs. Donna Reaves, and advertising representative Sherman R. White. In December of this year, the subscription rate was $5.00 per year or $3.00 per six months.[32]
