Negro League baseball player for the Pittsburgh Crawfords in the early 1930s. After his baseball career Harris became the principal photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier newspaper for 39 years.

Harris photographed Pittsburgh's African American community from 1935 to 1975. He was nicknamed "One Shot," because he rarely needed retakes. The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh purchased his negatives from the Harris estate in 2001, and now features them in a permanent exhibit.
