The Sunday Morning Star, also commonly known as The Sunday Star, [1] was a weekly newspaper in Wilmington, Delaware from 1881 to 1954. It carried three official titles in its 74 years: The Sunday Morning Star from 1881 to 1949, [2] The Sunday Star from 1949 to 1953, [3] and the Wilmington Sunday Star from 1953 to 1954. [4]

Although catering primarily to Wilmington's white community, The Sunday Morning Star played an important role in providing a column of news from and about the city's African American community, which filled the niche left vacant by Wilmington's frequent lack of an African-American newspaper. [1]
