James C. Thibodeaux was born July 1911 in the parish of St.
Martinville, Louisiana. He moved with his family to Dallas, Texas after his
mother died. Thibodeaux’s father, a graduate of Strait University (later known
as Dillard University) in New Orleans, worked as head custodian and translator
of French at the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas. Thibodeaux graduated from the
Sisters’ Institute (later known as St. Peter’s Academy) in 1928. During high
school, Thibodeaux was encouraged by his art teacher, Sister Michael, to
develop his artistic talent. Because of racial discrimination, no schools in
the Dallas area would accept him so his father contacted schools in New York
City. In 1929 Thibodeaux’s father sent him to New York City to study at Cooper
Union, which had offered him a scholarship. Also in 1929, Thibodeaux began work
with WOR radio as a studio page; he retired in 1977 as television operations
supervisor.
During his career at WOR, he continued to pursue his artistic
endeavors in art, photography, history, and acting. Thibodeaux’s work has been
shown at the Countee Cullen Library, Eva Jessye's studio, and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. He was active in the Dallas Negro Players, the first black
little theater group in Dallas, and the Harlem Experimental Players. In
addition to his own career as an artist, he served as a mentor to many younger
artists, particularly through his involvement with the Police Athletic League
and the YMCA in New York City. Thibodeaux has also mentored older, lesser-known
African-American artists by organizing exhibitions and documenting their work
in text and photographs. In 1992 Thibodeaux was recognized as a “Dallas Living
Legend” by the Junior Black Academy of Arts and Letters. As of 1999, Thibodeaux
was living in the family home in Dallas.
Return to the Table of Contents
Collection consists of four series: James C. Thibodeaux, Thibodeaux
Family, Catholic Church, and African-American History. Series I is arranged
into three sub-series: Personal, Civic, and Professional. The WOR photo
archive, which was given to Thibodeaux, is included in the Professional series;
the photographs are further categorized as Chronological, Identified Persons
(undated), and Unidentified. Series II is arranged by format type, and Series
III and IV are arranged first by subject and then by format type. The number of
images follows each entry. Much of the material in the Thibodeaux collection
had been stored in magnetic scrapbook/photo albums. Preservation photocopies,
which are listed in the James C. Thibodeaux-Personal series, were made of each
album and the albums were then dismantled. Additionally, all materials that
were removed from Thibodeaux’s scrapbook/photo albums are labeled with the
corresponding album number, which is shown here in parentheses after each album
name in the inventory. Negatives are restricted.
