Parks' impactful images from the forefront of the civil rights and Black Power movements
Originally published in 1971, Gordon Parks' Born Black was the first book to unite his writing and his photography and also the first to provide a focused survey of Parks' documentation of a crucial time for the civil rights and Black Power movements.
The nine series included in Born Black include a rare glimpse inside San Quentin State Prison; extensive documentation of the Black Muslim movement and the Black Panthers; his commentaries on the deaths of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.; intimate portrait studies of Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Eldridge Cleaver; and a narrative of the daily life of the impoverished Fontenelle family in Harlem. These selections have come to define Parks' legendary career as a photographer and activist. This reimagined, comprehensive edition of Born Black highlights the lasting legacy of these projects and their importance to our understanding of critical years in American history.
