# Highlights from the Robert H. McNeill Family Collection

Archivist Leah Rios and photography curator Kate Fogle highlight the career of African American photographer Robert H. McNeill (1917-2005), who documented 20th-century African American leadership and life in Washington D.C from the 1930s-1970s. They will explore the newly processed Robert H. McNeill Family Collection and will touch on McNeill’s family photographs and albums, local portraiture and photojournalism from operating his freelance news service in D.C., his World War II military service, and his time as a portrait photographer for the U.S. Department of State.
