About this listen

Our first episode examines the lives of four Black photographers from Kentucky. Morgan and Marvin Smith were from Nicholasville, KY and operated a studio right next to The Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Moneta Sleet, of Owensboro, KY was the first Black man to win a Pulitzer Prize, which he won for his photo from Martin Luther King Jr's funeral. Finally, Louisville's Bud Dorsey worked a straight job while becoming one of the most visible photographers in the city for decades.
