Try The Schomberg Research Center in Harlem. Try their website. Ive never been.

Studio Museum in Harlem might have some archival shit.

Specific artists might have websites of their work up on their sites.

U know theres a gang of overused Hip Hop images to choose from.

Try that Stax Museum - see what they have.

Even the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland

See if the Apollo has some stuff.

Good Luck.

Stanford has the Martin Luther King Library with a lot of online resources, if you're looking for photos from that era.
