Photos in UMKC Digital Special Collections

Series consists of nearly 900 color and black-and-white photographs, dating from 1950s-2000s. Included are publicity and performance shots; images documenting instructional clinics, award banquets and other events; as well as personal and candid photos. While most photos are 1990s-2000s era, there are a handful of rare images from Alaadeen’s early life and career (né Sonny/Richard White) that are worth noting. Items are located in Photo Boxes 1-18, with oversized images in Manuscript Box 6.
