One day, Spi pulled me aside to tell me a story about his nephew who he wanted me to meet. His nephew Antwone lived in L.A. and was working as a security guard at a Sony Pictures and had decided to write a book about his life.

As we celebrate our 95 years of serving the Black community, we reach back to those who took part in the process of getting the news out to the people.

As we’ve reconnected with former Call and Post employees in celebration of our 95th Anniversary, I have been in awe of the style, class and grace of the women who have come in – not to mention the clarity of which they recall their time spent with the paper.

The 1935 Call and Post newsboys photo grows more interesting as more and more people connected to it come forward. Just as it was a surprise that Mrs. Evelyn Patton-Davis was among, what we thought to be a boy’s only photo, another surprise has sprung up concerning our cherished and iconic photo.
