A child of the Harlem Renaissance and an artistic collaborator of Langston Hughes, Roy DeCarava is an unsung hero of Black history. Convinced that the lives of ordinary Black people deserved to be immortalized and documented in photos, Roy celebrated Black people through his art, a process that the incomparable author Gary Golio and illustrator E. B. Lewis capture in this beautiful picture book.

“Life is how you look at it.” And for Black photographer Roy DeCarava, life in his neighborhood was beautiful. Follow Roy through 1940s Harlem, as he takes out his camera, pops in a roll of film, and opens his eyes to the beauty all around him. There’s a little boy drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. SNAP! A young man at the bus stop with a baby in his arms. SNAP! Kids playing in an open fire hydrant. SNAP! Looking at them all, Roy sees beauty everywhere in Harlem, and so do the people who look at his photos.
This deeply researched picture book also includes additional information on DeCarava, a list of places to view his photos, a bibliography, and photos.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9790566https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9790566Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9790566980EBOOKThe Vision of Photographer Roy DeCaravaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781662680564/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1385236https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1385236Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1385236126BKSounds Like A Rainbow : A Story of the Young Jimi Hendrixenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780618852796/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2568476https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2568476Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2568476126BKThe Vision of Photographer Roy DeCaravaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781662680557/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2263520https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2263520Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2263520126BKBlind Willie Johnson's Journey to the Starsenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781524738884/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1409517https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1409517Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1409517126BK[the Story of the Young Bob Dylan]enghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316112994/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2366836https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2366836Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2366836126BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984813664/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2018570https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2018570Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2018570126BKSound of the Heart, Song of the Worldenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781627795128/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1828135https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1828135Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1828135126BKJohn Coltrane's Musical Journeyenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780547239941/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2601544https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2601544Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2601544126BKWalt Whitman's Extraordinary Service in the American Civil Warenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781635925876/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2103072https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2103072Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2103072126BKHow Young Charlie Chaplin Taught the World to Laugh (and Cry)enghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780763697617/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1656203https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1656203Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1656203126BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780763666606/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=The poignant story of Blind Willie Johnson—the legendary Texas musician whose song "Dark Was the Night" was included on the Voyager I space probe's Golden Record
Willie Johnson was born in 1897, and from the beginning he loved to sing—and play his cigar box guitar. But his childhood was interrupted when he lost his mother and his sight. How does a blind boy make his way in the world? Fortunately for Willie, the music saved him and brought him back into the light. His powerful voice, combined with the wailing of his slide guitar, moved people. Willie made a name for himself performing on street corners all over Texas. And one day he hit it big when he got a record deal and his songs were played on the radio. Then in 1977, his song—"Dark Was the Night"—was chosen to light up the darkness when it was launched into space on the Voyager I space probe's famous Golden Record. His immortal song was selected for the way it expresses the loneliness humans all feel, while reminding us we're not alone.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5136550https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5136550Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5136550980EBOOKBlind Willie Johnson's Journey to the Starsenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781524738891/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=
