Gordon Parks (1912–2006) was the first African-American photographer to gain an international reputation in the twentieth century. The first photographs he shot revealed a significant talent. He quickly sought opportunities to work as photographer and ways to make a living in the profession. In 1944 Parks rented a room at Harlem’s YMCA and began looking for work in New York. Vogue magazine hired Gordon Parks. During the next four years, he traveled to the world’s fashion capitals on assignment for the magazine while continuing to work independently on other subjects that also interested him. In 1948 he was hired by Life magazine. Gordon Parks was the first African-American photographer for Life. A rare Parks photograph of King giving the speech is in the museum’s collection and included in the exhibition.
