Charles K. Harris (7-7-1888––11-24-1957), the son of Isaac and Edmonia Harris was born in Owensboro, Kentucky. He was a World War I veteran. After moving to Indianapolis, he began a photography studio, ca. 1919. His studio had several locations including 1102 N. Senate, 550 1⁄2 Indiana Avenue, 628 N. West Street, and 631 N. West Street.

In 1941, he married Johnnie Mae Grigley. Four children were born to this union: Charles K., Jr., Ida Darlene, Pamela, and Garry Keith. Harris was a member of the Shiloh Baptist Church where he served as a trustee. He was a member of the Eastside Better Business League, Senate Avenue Young Men’s Christian Association, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—Indianapolis chapter.
