Our National Progress, originally the Zion Standard, was an African American newspaper in Delaware.

Foundation
The Zion Standard was purchased by Day and C. M. Brown and renamed Our National Progress.

Publication
The paper initially cost $1.50 a year, but the price was increased to $2.25 in 1874.

Dissolution
The paper struggled financially, and it closed some time around January 1875. Day tried to revive the paper in 1876 as an official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, but by 1877, no issues had been published, so the revival was canceled by religious leadership.

As of 2020, no issues of the paper have been located.
