## Resource

Veteran photojournalist Chick Harrity, who captured haunting images from the Vietnam War and documented eight U.S. presidents, has died at 87. His career, spanning four decades from 1956 to his retirement, was defined by his uncanny ability to find humanity in chaos — most famously a heartbreaking photo of a Saigon baby girl beside her brother. From White House corridors to protest lines, Harrity’s lens immortalized pivotal moments, including Nixon’s 1974 farewell. Awarded photographer of the year by the White House News Photographers Association and honored with a lifetime achievement award, he never stopped telling stories — even after retiring, contributing to local papers with his signature eye for truth and connection. Remembered not just for his images, but for his wit and the relationships that made his work possible, Harrity leaves behind a visual archive that shaped how we see our recent history.
