From the American Memory website of the Library of Congress I noticed some time ago that they had these three images associated with the Richmond Planet, the most successful African American newspaper in Richmond of the late 19th and early 20th century. It ran from 1883 to 1938. The image above is labeled as "People posed on porch of and in the Planet newspaper publishing house, Richmond, Virginia" and given the date ca. 1899.
The image above is labeled on the Library of Congress site
as "Composing room of the Planet newspaper, Richmond, Virginia" ca. 1899.
The third and last image from the Library of Congress website of Richmond Planet
images is labeled by them as "Press room of the Planet newspaper, Richmond, Virginia" ca. 1899.
