As Pittsburgh takes center stage for the NFLDraft and a new generation of superstars begin their NFL journeys, we’re looking back at Charles “Teenie” Harris’s photographs of the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp from 1961.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, lifelong Pittsburgher Charles “Teenie” Harris (1908–1998) documented the city’s ever‑changing communities while capturing the richness, complexity, and everyday experiences of Black life in mid‑century America.

Want to dive deeper into Harris’s work? An entire gallery dedicated to the Charles “Teenie” Harris Archive is on view now, and the entire archive of 80,000 photographs is available to browse online. Head to the link in our bio to explore more.
