African American employees of Cady Lumber lived in a separate part of McNary, Arizona, called the “Quarters.” This photo was in the April 10, 1926, issue of “American Lumberman.”
History buffs likely have heard of “The Great Migration” of African Americans from the Jim Crow South into the Northeast and Midwest between 1916 and 1970.
But many aren’t aware that migration also included Arizona and the West.
“Phoenix is the best city in the U.S.A. . The most friendly relations exist between the Caucasians and the Colored people.”
That’s an excerpt from a 1919 promotional article published by the Phoenix Tribune, Arizona’s first African American newspaper, founded the year prior by Arthur Randolph Smith.

With its sights set on a $5 million allocation for the arts in the state s budget for Fiscal Year 21-22, Arizona Citizens for the Arts has reinvented the annual Arts Congress day of advocacy with online meetings with legislators and arts organizations across the state during the week of Feb. 22-26.
Subscribe We have been coordinating with 90 different legislators and dozens of arts organizations to set up meetings, said Arizona Citizens for the Arts Executive Director Joseph Benesh. We have lined up Zoom meetings for each of the state s 30 legislative districts. Most will be broadcast from a local arts organization with Arizona Citizens for the Arts hosting the technology. Arts organizations hosting the meetings will kick them off by sharing their stories.
