Carlton Benjamin Goodlett, Ph.D., M.D. (July 23, 1914 – January 25, 1997) was a physician, newspaper publisher, political power broker, and civil rights leader in San Francisco, California. From 1951 until his death, he was the owner of Reporter Publishing Company, which published the Sun-Reporter, the California Voice, and seven other regional African-American weeklies in Northern California. Goodlett maintained a busy medical practice in his newspaper office until his retirement from medicine in 1983. But his greatest passion was political activism.
