A New Exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Art Redefines American Photojournalism
['Kahmeela Adams-Friedson']
Pittsburgh Magazine
The exhibition, “Black Photojournalism,” centers on the prolific work of Charles “Teenie” Harris, the preeminent photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier, once the nation’s most widely circulated Black newspaper.
The exhibition explores a pivotal time in the history of Black photojournalism.
In doing so, “Black Photojournalism” presents a fuller, more nuanced picture of Black life in America.
Foggie-Barnett stresses that “Black Photojournalism” also highlights the significance of thoughtful, contextualized storytelling — and the critical importance of remembering and celebrating the full spectrum of American history.
“This is who we are, and you can’t erase our history.”“Black Photojournalism” opens Saturday at the Carnegie Museum of Art and continues through Jan. 19, 2026.
