Daniel Arthur Rudd (August 7, 1854—December 3, 1933) was a Black Catholic journalist and early Civil Rights leader.
He is known for starting in 1885 what has been called "the first newspaper printed by and for Black Americans", the Ohio Tribune—which he later expanded into the American Catholic Tribune, purported to be the first Black-owned national newspaper.[1] The paper folded in 1897.
He also founded the Colored Catholic Congress in 1889, which held five meetings total and lasted until 1894.
