Summary
Reverend L.O. Taylor was a man with many talents: outstanding preacher, excellent writer, counselor, and candy maker. What made Taylor most popular within the Memphis, Tennessee community were his films and photographs documenting African American life in Memphis in the 1930's and 40's, long before the Civil Rights Movement had an impact on the African American community. Rev. Taylor documented church activities, community events, and the National Baptist Convention. As there are few images documenting this time in African American history, this video presentation of Reverend Taylor's films provide a link to an important piece of African American history and life.
