Over the course of five decades, Al Henderson photographed nearly every aspect of Black life in Newark, including Black civic and social leaders in the city. He formed the Al Henderson Orchestra, one of Newark's most famouns bands of the 1930s. But Henderson turned to photography in the early 1940s and became Newark's premier African-American portrait photographer. From the description of Al Henderson collection, ca. 1938, 1950-1987.
