Murphy Sr. Born enslaved in Baltimore in 1840, Murphy rose to first sergeant in the U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War before turning to publishing. When he died in 1922, his son Carl Murphy took over what had become the largest Black-owned newspaper on the East Coast. The Afro-American followed the Black Sox through their best seasons, and historian Bernard McKenna has used its archives to recover rare images of the club, including a 1930 photo of Satchel Paige in a Baltimore uniform. Documentary photographer Paul Henderson joined the paper in 1929 and later photographed Black Sox pitcher Laymon Yokely on the mound at Maryland Park.
