A groundbreaking collection of photographs and essays that shed new light on the history of Black America, from the Picturing Black History project.
Stunning . . . Provides fresh perspective on historical photographs and snapshots of Black life. --NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
An astonishing work. --Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Picturing Black History uncovers untold stories and rarely seen images of the Black experience, providing new context around culturally significant moments. This beautiful collectible volume makes a thoughtful gift and is full of rousing, vibrant essays paired with rarely seen photographs that expand our understanding of Black history.
The book is a collaborative effort between Getty Images, Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, and the History departments at The Ohio State and Miami Universities. It informs, educates, and inspires our current moment by exploring the past, blending the breadth and depth of Getty Images's archives with the renowned expertise of Origins contributors and The Ohio State's and Miami's History departments, including Daniela Edmeier, Damarius Johnson, Nicholas Breyfogle, and Steve Conn.
In collecting these new photographic essays, this book furthers an ongoing dialogue on the significance of Black history and Black life, sharing new perspectives on the current status of prejudice and discrimination bias with a wider audience. Picturing Black History uses the latest academic learning and scholarship to recontextualize and dispel prejudices, while uncovering, digitizing, and preserving new archival materials to amplify a more inclusive visual landscape.
Picturing Black History offers a trove of both famous and unseen photos with brief, poignant accompanying essays to show not only the centrality of Black people to American history but also how African Americans used the photographer's lens to tell their own stories. The editors, authors, and Getty images have created a beautiful book that stands on its own as a work of art, a veritable museum in print. --Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University
