| Summary: | "Black Photojournalism...presents work by nearly sixty 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 movement through the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Drawn from the collections of journalists, libraries, museums, newspapers, photographers, and universities, the pictures in the exhibition were circulated and reviewed in publishing offices before anything went to print. Each one represents the energy of many dedicated individuals who worked to get out the news every single day. 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. During a period of urgent social change and civil rights advocacy, newspapers and magazines, including the (Baltimore) Afro-American, Atlanta Daily World, Pittsburgh Courier, Chicago Defender, and Ebony, transformed how people were able to access ways of seeing themselves and their communities." - back cover |
