This exhibition presents work by more than 40 photographers chronicling historic events and daily life in the United States from the conclusion of World War II in 1945 to the presidential campaigns of 1984, including the civil rights movements through the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

Responding to a dearth of stories about Black lives told from the perspectives of Black people, Black publishers and their staff created groundbreaking editorial and photojournalistic methods and news networks.  Among these photojournalists was Charles “Teenie” Harris (1908-1998, pictured) in Pittsburgh.
