Published in cooperation with Carnegie Museum of Art With an introduction by Deborah Willis The famous faces of Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, and John F. Kennedy appear among the nearly eighty thousand photographs of Charles "Teenie" Harris (1908-1998).

Winner of the 2012 BCALA Literary Award
