Harlem: A Century in Images

Home to writers and revolutionaries, artists and musicians, Harlem has also long been a source of inspiration for countless photographers. Offering a sweeping survey of this distinctive landscape and those who have called it home, Harlem: A Century in Images looks through the lenses of some of the most important photographers as they documented this vibrant and bustling neighborhood.

Thoughtful contributions by leading scholars of African-American studies and art—Deborah Willis, Cheryl Finley, and Elizabeth Alexander—add insightful voices to accompany the images.
