The Tampa Bulletin was a newspaper in Tampa, Florida, for African Americans.[1][2] It was established by Rev. Marcellus D. Potter in 1915.[3] According to the Library of Congress, it began in 1914.[4]
M.D. Potter was the editor[5] and owner.[6] Potter was born in Sylvester, Georgia. Potter Elementary, an elementary school in Tampa, is named for him.[7] Potter was Vice-President of the Central Life Insurance Company.[8]
C. Blythe Andrews moved to Tampa and worked at the paper after the Sentinel folded. He revived the Sentinel. After a dispute over coverage of lodges he left the paper and revived the Florida Sentinel in December 1945.[9]
In 1959 the paper was merged into C. Blythe Andrews' Florida Sentinel.[10]
