Today In History

Dr. Kenneth Bancroft Clark, psychologist, and civil rights activist was born in the Panama Canal Zone on this date July 24, 1914.

Dr. Clark and his wife Mamie Phipps Clark did the research that showed the psychological effects of prejudice on Black people.

The Clarks’ work contributed to the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in which it determined that de jure racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional.

They founded the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem and the organization Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited.

Kenneth Clark received his bachelor’s and master’s degree from Howard University. He then enrolled at Columbia University and in 1940, became the first African American to earn the doctorate in psychology at the University.

Clark taught at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) from 1940 to 1941. A year later, he moved to the City College of New York, becoming the institution’s first permanent black faculty member, and the first Black president of the American Psychological Association.

Today is Gordon Parks’ 107th birthday! 🎉🎈🎂🎈🎉 My photography hero! ✊🏿 The More You Know... Gordon Roger Alexander Buchanan Parks (November 30, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was an American photographer, musician, writer and film director, who became prominent in U.S. documentary  photojournalism in the 1940s through 1970s—particularly in issues of civil rights, poverty and Black-Americans—and in glamour photography. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gordonparks #gordonparksfoundation #birthday #legacy #107yearsyoung #photography (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gMHQ7nMCO/?igshid=kyei25a75828

Reposted from @gordonparksfoundation (@get_regrann) - American Gothic, Washington, D.C., 1942 was just named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential Images of All Time. They wrote, "It served as an indictment of the treatment of African Americans by accentuating the inequality in 'the land of the free' and came to symbolize life in pre-civil-rights America. 'What the camera had to do was expose the evils of racism,' Parks later observed, 'by showing the people who suffered most under it.'"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @time #gordonparks #gordonparksfoundation #timemagazine #americangothic #ellawatson #farmsecurityadministration #FSA #photographer #photography #socialjustice - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VZEoODGAo/?igshid=hufcm5o2hbht

I adore silly books for kids, but one of the best things about the picture book format is its ability to make tough subjects like poverty and racism accessible to young children in ways that are age appropriate. One of the most moving picture book biographies that I've read recently is "Gordon Parks: How the Photographer Captured Black and White America" (2015). Written by the prolific Carole Boston Weatherford and gorgeously illustrated by Jamey Christoph, the book details the life of famous black photographer and movie director Gordon Parks, and his dedication to bringing images of the struggles of the black community, from poverty to racism, into the public eye, while reflecting his subjects' strength and determination. From his birth (which he nearly didn't survive), to his triumph as one of the first widely popular photographers of colour for major media outlets, it's a fascinating story, if sometimes a difficult one. A great discussion starter for school-aged kids about racism and discrimination. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #gordonparks #howthephotographercapturedblackandwhiteamerica #gordonparksfoundation #gordonparksphotography #carolebostonweatherford #caroleweatherford #jameychristoph #blackcommunity #blackhistory #blackhistory365 #blackkids #diversebooksforkids #weneeddiversebooks #diversityandrepresentation #representationinbooks #picturebookbiographies #igreads #read #booksaremylife #picturebook #learningfrombooks #homeschoolideas #readwithriver_discussions https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QVp1tnEMk/?igshid=lt7baonwqtk6

📷 🖤 #ArtIsAWeapon #Photographer extraordinaire #GordonParks @gordonparksfoundation #exhibit “I AM YOU | PART 1” @jackshainman January 11-February 10, 2018 524 West 24th Street, NYC. "What I want. What I am. What you force me to be is what you are. For I am you staring back from a mirror of poverty and despair, of revolt and freedom. Look at me and know that to destroy me is to destroy yourself." Gordon Parks wrote these words in 1967. Whether through photographs, words or music, Gordon gave a voice to the sometimes voiceless and demonstrated the transformative power of self-expression. His photographs transcend art, history, race and culture and have endured to stand the test of time. - Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr., Executive Director of the Gordon Parks Foundation. #Photos from www.gordonparksfoundation.org #GordonParks #BlackCreative #BlackExcellence #BlackBrilliance #BlackStorytellers #BlackDirectors #BlackComposer #BlackWriters #Photography #PhotoExhibit #GordonParksFoundation #jackshainman #ArtAndTheCity #jackshaimangallery #iamyou #iamyoupart1 #exhibition #fineartphotography #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon

Good morning! May love, peace, protection, gratitude, enough, now, grace and mercy reside with you today. Be intentional about sharing the priceless gift of a kind and sincere word with someone today. Be or stay encouraged! “Art is the highest form of hope”. Whatever it is that that you desire to do, just start and things will most likely fall or ascend in place. Stay hopeful. #fctalk #freedomclay #inspirationalmessage #gordonparks #gordonparksfoundation #livingwitness https://www.instagram.com/p/B11Jum8hYOy/?igshid=1n1s7nwemf2nw
