Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NEWDUN_181013_11.JPG: Meet Alice Allison Dunnigan, Pioneering White House Reporter Born in segregated Kentucky, Alice Allison Dunnigan overcame racism and sexism to become the first African American woman to cover the White House in 1947. A native of Russellville, she wrote for Kentucky newspapers before being hired to report for the Associated Negro Press news agency. There, she was paid half what the men made. "Race and sex were twin strikes against me," Dunnigan said. President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously avoided her tough questions on civil rights. Dunnigan also was the first black woman to cover the Supreme Court and Congress. She died in Washington D.C., in 1983 at age 77. Loan, Amanda Matthews, sculptor.
