Biography

Rudy Smith (January 6, 1945 – December 5, 2019) was an American journalist and photographer known for his contributions to documenting life in Nebraska, particularly within the black community. He was the first black graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha's communications school and later became its first black faculty member. He had a 45-year career at the Omaha World-Herald, where he was its first black photographer. Through his photojournalism, he showed everyday life in Omaha while also being an advocate for civil rights.
