One Shot Harris

This book presents the extensive photographic archive of Charles "Teenie" Harris, who documented African-American life in Pittsburgh from the 1930s to the 1970s. Working for the Pittsburgh Courier, Harris captured a wide range of experiences, from everyday family moments and working-class pride to the challenges of poverty and crime. The collection offers a unique visual history of the African-American community during and after the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by an essay from cultural critic Stanley Crouch.
