“People in millenniums ahead will know what we were like in the 1930’s… and the important major things that shaped our history at that time. This is as important for historic reasons as any other.” - Gordon Parks CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #cartermagazine #carter #gordonparks #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6sIIlOzLo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A few pages from 'Gordon Parks: Segregation Story' — an expanded edition of Parks’ classic account of race relations in America, with previously unpublished images and texts. Back in Stock from @steidlverlag & @gordonparksfoundation⁠ ⁠ In the summer of 1956, @life magazine sent Parks to Alabama to document the daily realities of African Americans living under Jim Crow laws in the rural South. The resulting color photographs are among Parks’ most powerful images, and, in the decades since, have become emblematic representations of race relations in America. Pursued at grave danger to the photographer himself, the project was an important chapter in Parks’ career-long endeavor to use the camera as a weapon for social change.⁠ ⁠ After the photos were first presented in a 1956 issue of Life, the bulk of Parks’ assignment was thought to be lost. In 2011, five years after Parks’ death, the Gordon Parks Foundation found more than 200 color transparencies belonging to the series. In 2014 the series was first published as a book, and since then new photographs have been uncovered.⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Edited by Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr, Michal Raz-Russo.
