Charles Wylie will discuss Black Photojournalism, an exhibition at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, on view through July 5. The exhibition, which opened March 15, includes images by more than 60 photographers who captured history, work and everyday life from around the United States from 1945 through the mid-1980s. The exhibition features more than 250 photographs that highlight the essential role of Black photojournalists in documenting a nuanced portrayal of Black experiences in America.

Wylie joined the museum in 2025, succeeding long-time curator John Rohrbach. Wylie previously was inaugural Curator of Photography and New Media at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. He also has been Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art at the Dallas Museum of Art. In Dallas, he was responsible for all post-World War II art, including photography.

The Amon Carter museum is internationally recognized as a major repository for American photography. The Carter commissioned and holds a complete set of  Richard Avedon’s “In the American West,” plus complete sets of Edward S. Curtis’ “The North American Indian” and Alfred Stieglitz’s “Camera Notes and Camera Work.” Learn more.
