Get an insider’s view of the organizing meetings, rallies, and luminaries that carried forward the struggle for civil rights in Pittsburgh and on the national stage.

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Teenie Harris Photographs: Civil Rights Perspectives features 25 photographs selected from the extraordinary collection of the Teenie Harris Archive. This selection of images, which Charles “Teenie” Harris made between 1939 and 1975, attest to his sympathy for the cause and his understanding of its importance to Pittsburgh. Alma Speed Fox, a veteran of the Pittsburgh movement, and K. Chase Patterson, representing a new generation of activists, serve as guest curators, selecting the works for the exhibition, and sharing their insights into their meaning at the time and their significance for the present.
