The Lighthouse and Informer, originally the Charleston Lighthouse, was an African American newspaper in South Carolina. It was founded by journalist John Henry McCray in 1939, and it merged with the Sumter Informer in 1941, when it moved from Charleston to Columbia. It supported racial equality, denounced separate but equal educational facilities and unequal teacher pay, sought to increase black civic engagement, and endorsed non-segregationist candidates for political office. Though it was a powerful newspaper, it suffered financial difficulties due to the conviction of McCray on libel and parole-related charges, and it declared bankruptcy and dissolved in 1954.
