About the Item
The image capturing African-American life in Harlem in the 1960s, Mr. Harlem, 1963 by Leonard Freed, is a 14” x 11” black-and-white photograph from the photographer's book Black in White America (p .107).
The black-and-white photograph (gelatin silver print) of a body builder is from the Freed estate, stamped/authenticated verso (photo back) and signed by Brigitte Freed (widow of photographer).
Provenance: Freed archive
Photographer Leonard Freed enjoyed documentary storytelling and as a "concerned photographer" his work demonstrated humanitarian concerns. The photographer travelled to New York, Washington, D.C., and throughout the South, capturing the daily life of African-Americans.
Documenting the 1960s Civil Rights Movement from the east coast to the Deep South, Freed’s photo essay culminated in the book Black in White America, which contributed to Freed's becoming one of the well-known documentary photographers of 20th Century America.

Freed’s coverage of the American civil rights movement made him famous, although he continued to produce photo essays on New York, Italians and many other subjects.
