- The_Stentorians abstract "The Stentorians are a black fraternal organization of firefighters in the Los Angeles Fire Department that was founded in 1954.Firefighter Arnett Hartsfield, Jr. organized the Stentorians in response to the difficulties in the integration of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). The Central-Alameda neighborhood of South Los Angeles was an area of sprawling American Craftsmen Style homes of mostly white residents, which by 1930 had changed to predominantly black. By 1950 it was home to two historic all-black segregated fire stations (Fire Station No. 14 and Fire Station No. 30). By the 50’s the largest African-American newspaper on the West Coast, the California Eagle (1879–1964), owned and operated by Charlotta Bass, was taken over by its former writer turned City Editor, Lawyer Loren Miller. An early proponent (1920’s under Editor J.B Bass {d.1934} and followed by Charlotta) of integration and Civil Rights, the Eagle pushed for diversity and ran editorials against segregation as part of its platform. The Bass home is listed in the 52nd Place Historic District which is in the US National Register of Historic Places. In 1954 Loren Miller, active in the local NAACP, pushed to integrate the LAFD.One of the newspaper’s targets in 1954-55 was the Fire Chief Engineer of Los Angeles, John H. Alderson, whom the black readership identified as a staunch segregationist who was perceived as preventing the integration of the LAFD. After the 1954 Supreme Court decision in re: Brown vs Board of Ed and others, Alderson asked the city’s attorney whether the decision affected his dept, to which came back in the affirmative. Based on this the Chief assigned men from the segregated houses to all-white fire houses beginning what was to become a year of crisis for the LAFD. Newspaper writers penned articles both pro and con integration and while firefighters came together while fighting fires, the rest of the time spent in the firehouse was for the most part their own. With the introduction of blacks to all-white firehouse’s, and in particular Fire Station #10, the customary rituals between brother firefighters turned to the dark side, and those firehouses became tense battlegrounds at night, by the end of the following year some black firefighters had taken to being armed for their own protection, fearing retribution for some slight published in the papers or reported in the nightly newscasts or heard on radio broadcasts.The Stentorians, a fraternal group of black firefighters was founded in 1954, taking their name from the Greek word, \"stentor\", (meaning a powerful voice). They espoused non-violence and adopted the slogan, \"We only fight the department on integration\". The Stentorians decided that, to protect the men, a round-the-clock patrol would deploy to guard the black firefighters at Fire Station 10. CBS Channel 2 news ran newscasts of recordings after a reporter provided the Stentorians with special microphones to record the night-long hazings. The media's response to events was perceived by the firefighters as inconsistent, as was that of the fire commission. Chief Alderson retired at the end of the year and Deputy Chief Frank Rothermel became interim chief engineer; he remained in the post until Alderson's successor was named. William L. Miller became the Fire Chief Engineer on January 17, 1956. Miller undertook the process of integrating the LAFD. With some white firefighters backing integration and receiving punishment for it, the tide had turned against segregation and Miller went ahead and transferred black and white firefighters to Fire Station 7 at 2824 S. Main Street. Calling it an ‘experiment’, Miller had chosen men he knew were not opposed to integration for the assignment at Fire Station 7.".
