Picturing Black History: Photographs and Stories That Changed The World/ Editors: Daniela Edmeier, Damarius Johnson, Steven Conn, and Nicholas B. Breyfogle in collaboration with Getty Images

Edmeier examines how photography has shaped the ways Black history is recorded, remembered, and represented, showing both its power to challenge racist narratives and its potential to reinforce them. By analyzing key visual archives and images, she highlights how photographs document oppression, resilience, and cultural expression, while also asking readers to consider who controls the lens and the story it tells. The work underscores photography’s role not only as historical evidence but also as a medium of resistance and reimagining Black presence in history.
