Charles "Teenie" Harris photographed the events and daily life in Pittsburgh's African American community between 1936 and 1975 for the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the nations' most influential Black newspapers.
In 2001, Carnegie Museum of Art acquired Harris' archive of nearly 80,000 photographic negatives, few of which are titled and dated. The archive, a richly detailed record of public personalities and events, and the daily lives of average people, is considered one of the most important documentations of 20th-century African American life.
Approximately 200 work prints and 3500 photocopied images are on view.
