Title

Sonny Bay Hale Photography Collection

Description

Sonny Nathaniel "Bay" Hale was a local photographer who specialized in portraiture and event photographs. He developed all of his photos from his home studio in Gainsboro. His collection ranges from the 1950s to the 1970s. Many of the photographs are black and white and feature unidentified people due to lack of identifying information. This collection primarily concerns African American subjects. Many images in the collection relate to Lucy Addison High School and Grandin Court Elementary, which are photographs taken while Hale worked as the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds for Roanoke City Public Schools.
