Author: Foggie-Barnett, CharleneThis book presents work by 57 Black photographers chronicling historic events in the USA from the end of World War II, the civil rights movements through the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s and up to the presidential campaigns of 1984. During a period of urgent social change and civil rights advocacy, newspapers and magazines transformed how people were able to access seeing themselves and their communities. The book coincides with the exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art.Drawn from archives and collections in the care of journalists, libraries, museums, newspapers, photographers and universities, the photographs in the catalogue were circulated and reviewed in publishing offices across the country. 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. The exhibition and catalogue are both designed by artist David Hartt, and organized and edited by Charlene Foggie-Barnett, Charles "Teenie" Harris, community archivist, and Dan Leers, curator of photography, in dialogue with an expanded network of archivists, curators, historians and scholars.Photographers include: Harry Adams, Anthony Barboza, Kwame Brathwaite, Don Hogan Charles, Adger Cowans, Guy Crowder, Roy DeCarava, Doris Derby, Bob Douglas, Louis Draper, Theodore Gaffney, Charles “Teenie” Harris, Chester Higgins, Kojo Kamau, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, Marilyn Nance, Gordon Parks, Ming Smith, Bruce Talamon, Deborah Willis-Ryan.ISBN 9780880390767.
