Guest post from the Louisville Story Program: All of the Louisville Defender photographs in the Frank Stanley Sr. Collection, including those in the magazine, are the work of Black photographers who worked on staff or as contractors. Unfortunately, most of the photographs in the collection include no photographer attribution and no date. Each of these photographs was produced despite limited resources. The Defender could not afford to purchase as much film for its photographers as the Courier-Journal could, so the photographers had to make each shot count.
If you recognize any of the people, places, or events depicted in the photographs in the issue, the Louisville Story Program would love to hear from you. You can call us at (502) 583-3326 or email us at [email protected].
This is a guest post from the Louisville Story Program. We were honored to guest-edit a special issue of Louisville Magazine that features photographs from the Louisville Defender collection.
Charles W. Anderson (1907-1960) on the steps of Jefferson County Courthouse. Anderson was admitted to the Kentucky Bar in 1933, and in 1935 was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives, making him the first Black legislator in Kentucky and in the South since Reconstruction. He served in the legislature from 1936 to 1946 and is credited with a number of early civil rights measures, including the Anderson-Mayer State Aid Act, which provided $7,500 annually for African Americans to attend out-of-state colleges because Kentucky enforced higher-education segregation laws. He also passed bills allowing married women to teach, providing funds to Black students who were forced to travel outside of their county to attend segregated schools, and repealing the state's public hanging law. In 1946, Anderson was selected as assistant Commonwealth attorney for Jefferson County, the highest judicial position held by an African American in the South at the time. In 1959, President Eisenhower appointed him as an alternate delegate to the United Nations. He died tragically in 1960 when his car was struck by a passenger train.
Hello from the Louisville Story Program! We are guest-posting over the next couple of weeks to share more photos from this beautiful collaboration with Louisville Magazine.
The Louisville Story Program partnered with the University of Louisville Photographic Archives and Louisville Magazine to develop this special issue that celebrates the legacy of the Defender. The Louisville Defender is Louisville's iconic weekly Black newspaper. For almost 90 years, it has been there to cover issues and topics of concern to Louisville's Black community.
Forty years ago, Vivian Stanley, widow of longtime Louisville Defender publisher Frank Stanley Sr., donated Mr. Stanley's papers to the University of Louisville Archives & Special Collections to be preserved and made available to the public forever. His papers included over 16,000 photographs, mostly by Defender photographers. They had never been digitized, so we raised some money and hired a photo archivist at the University of Louisville to spend over a year digitizing the entire collection. UofL will eventually make the massive collection available in their online digital collections so that anyone with an internet connection can look through the photos for free.
To start, we bring you the cover of this issue. Louisville Defender photographer Willie Dix Jr. (1917-1984) was a World War II marine veteran and subsequently worked as a supervisor at the Army Field Printing Plant Photo Lab at Fort Knox. He also served as grand lodge photographer for Prince Hall Masonic Lodge at 28th and Dumesnil streets. It is likely that Mr. Dix took more photos for the Defender over the course of his career than any other photographer in the history of the newspaper. He was a resident of Newburg.
