“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World
Discover never before seen photographs from an unpublished LIFE magazine assignment to Gordon Parks, it’s only African American photographer, on the eve of the Civil Rights movement in 1950. Venture to Kansas and beyond in “Gordon Parks: Back to Fort Scott”, just opened at the MFA, Boston – one man’s bittersweet journey that is as riveting today as it was politically charged then.
