Today I would like to highlight the amazing photography of Gordon Parks. . Gordon Parks, one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, was a humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice. He left behind an exceptional body of work that documents American life and culture from the early 1940s into the 2000s, with a focus on race relations, poverty, civil rights, and urban life. Parks was also a distinguished composer, author, and filmmaker who interacted with many of the leading people of his era—from politicians and artists to athletes and other celebrities. . #gordonparks #gordonparksphotography #blacklivesmatter #blackartists #blackartistsmatter #bw #blackandwhitephotography (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-gtXRge2E/?igshid=qvejz3rwt9io

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

#tbt to when Kathleen asked me to be her date at the @gordonparksfoundation 10th Anniversary Awards Dinner+Auction where she was the special guest of honor. I've had the privilege to work alongside Kathleen in helping her organize her photographic archive, so being able to accompany her to this was like coming full circle in a way. Still much work to do tho, so if you know of photographic archive grants, lemme know! #blackpanthers #kathleencleaver #gordonparksphotography #photographers #mentorandfriend #latinafeminista #latinaarchivist #blackphotographyarchives #archiveforthepeople (at Cipriani)
