Charles “Teenie” Harris (1908-1998) was a photographer who captured the full-spectrum of African American life for over forty years, primarily as one of the principal photogrpahers for the Pittsburgh Courier newspaper. Few photographers anywhere captured us so well: from family life to beauty contests to sporting events, social life, civil rights demonstrations and visiting celebrities, Mr. Harris was there with the Speed Graphic camera that he would use well into the 1970s.
Teenie Harris, Photographer: An American Story is an exhibition of this icon’s work hosted by the Carnegie Museum of Art until April 7, 2012. If you don’t think you’ll make it to Pittsburgh in time, you can see some images from the exhibition here.
