 For over fifty years Harry Kemp was the eyes of Milwaukee's African-American community, documenting people, places and events through the medium of photography. ”If it happened and was important, Harry photographed it.”  Kemp, who passed away on September 29, 2011, left a lasting impact as he chronicled Milwaukee history through, according to his sister Yvonne Kemp “easily a million photos.”

Further information about Kemp and his work can be found by viewing the Milwaukee Public Television production “Harry Kemp, The Photography Man: A Black Nouveau Special.”
