R.C.
Hickman was born in the small East Texas town of Mineola,
Texas, in 1922. During the Great Depression, the young
R.C. moved with his father and brother to Dallas, Texas,
to earn money for his family. Hickman attended Austin's
Tillotson College until the onset of World War II. His
interest in photography developed during the war, and
he soon earned credentials to become an official army
photographer. After the war's end, he returned to Dallas
and began a professional career at the Dallas Star
Post and completed freelance work for Jet magazine.
Hickman also documented unequal school conditions for
the NAACP, where his work often led him into dangerous
conditions during the fight to end segregation. Mr. Hickman
continues to reside in Dallas. |
