In 1934, the year Calvin Littlejohn came to Fort Worth, the city was a sleepy little burg. This was the Jim Crow era, when mainstream newspapers wouldn't publish pictures of black citizens and white photographers wouldn't take pictures in black schools. In Fort Worth, Littlejohn began what would become a lifelong career of documenting the black community. And there would be nothing remotely related to the white culture's depictions of Amos 'n' Andy or black kids grinning over a slice of watermelon in Littlejohn's portrayal of his adopted home and the people he came to appreciate and love. Littlejohn's natural aptitude for drawing had been honed by correspondence courses in graphic design and a stint in a photo shop where he learned about the camera, lighting, and the use of shadows. When Littlejohn was assigned to be the official photographer at I. M. Terrell--the city's only black high school at the time--his professional career was launched. Unlike many segregated cities, where blacks lived only in one section, blacks in Cowtown lived in every quadrant of the city. There was a thriving black business district, with hotels, restaurants, a movie theater, a bank, and a major hospital, pharmacy, and nursing school. And of course, there were the schools and churches. All would eventually be seen through Littlejohn's lens. Although he never set out to be the documentarian of Fort Worth's black community, he did what he set out to do: to capture the best of a community, focusing on its good times. This book features more than 150 shots Littlejohn captured over the course of his career.

Fort Worth is the City of Cowboys and Cultureand where the West begins. Its citizens highlight the Texas can-do spirit and the determination and compassion to make a difference, to be legendary. When Buckley (B.B.) Paddock persuaded the railroad to lay track west of Dallas, a city was born and so was opportunity. Cowboys like T.J. Ryon rode into town with their cattle. J. Frank Norris preached against the vices in Hells Half Acre while Jennie Schueber tried to rally support for a free library. Feisty entrepreneurs like Ninnie Baird and John B. Laneri baked bread and sold pasta noodles. Cowtown also boasts such notables as Edna Gladney, who helped countless orphans find a home; the Clark brothers, who brought Texas Christian University home; and Claude R. Platte, who bravely served as a Tuskegee airman. These fine folks are just a sampling of Fort Worths fascinatingand sometimes infamouscharacters.

Download A History of Fort Worth in Black & White Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A History of Fort Worth in Black & White fills a long-empty niche on the Fort Worth bookshelf: a scholarly history of the city's black community that starts at the beginning with Ripley Arnold and the early settlers, and comes down to today with our current battles over education, housing, and representation in city affairs. The book's sidebars on some noted and some not-so-noted African Americans make it appealing as a school text as well as a book for the general reader. Using a wealth of primary sources, Richard Selcer dispels several enduring myths, for instance the mistaken belief that Camp Bowie trained only white soldiers, and the spurious claim that Fort Worth managed to avoid the racial violence that plagued other American cities in the twentieth century. Selcer arrives at some surprisingly frank conclusions that will challenge current politically correct notions.

Marine Sgt. Mike Shaffer stood alone on the battlefield, looking up at the beast from hell. He would need every bit of wisdom and courage he possessed to withstand this satanic challenge to his faith. Yet instead of cowering in fear, Mike stood his ground with a conviction that exemplified his Christian character. The source of his confidence was the one who stood behind him—the Advocate. It was his job to defend Mike against Legion’s condemning accusations. Legion could have used any appearance he wanted to deceive Mike: the snake that seduced Eve, one of the superhuman demoniacs of biblical times, or the angel of light that tempted Christ. God had granted Satan one chance to break Mike’s spirit, and it had to be done on the eve of a battle long since lost to history. So the old shape-shifter chose his most intimidating form: tall, dark, and masculine. His naked and genderless body spoke of power beyond human understanding. With eyes of steel, the Advocate stared at Satan’s most feared henchman, his jaw fixed, ready to litigate Mike’s case before God. However, his Defender knew that any physical interference in this inquisition was limited to protecting Mike’s body. The Paraclete had sealed Mike’s soul for the resurrection, so this testing was to question Mike’s spiritual integrity: was he worthy of God’s grace and his kingdom? Although Mike would be given a place of honor in the throne room of heaven for his victory over Satan’s dark force of doom, this story doesn’t end there.
