The Nova Scotia Gleaner was a monthly periodical that was established in 1929 in Sydney, Nova Scotia as the province's second African-Canadian newsmagazine.[2]
After moving to Nova Scotia from Tobago, Frederick Allan Hamilton eventually earned a degree from Dalhousie University, then returned to Cape Breton to practice law.[3] In August 1929, the first issue of The Nova Scotia Gleaner was published in Sydney, Nova Scotia and edited by the Sydney lawyer.[4]
The publication is described as three double-sided pages long and included local and regional news, community notes, political commentary, job openings, and other ads.[5] The newspaper supported activism and covered stories that affected African Nova Scotian communities around the province.[6]
