Today is Paul Henderson’s birthday! Henderson was born in 1899 and became a well-known photographer in Baltimore during the civil rights movement. He worked for the Afro- American newspaper, and his photography earned him several awards. Henderson was an active member in his church, neighborhood, the NAACP, and supported the Salvation Army. Check out his photography in our Digital Collections. Link in bio.
