Having grown up amidst violence, watching his mother die at a young age and seeing several of his friends killed by gangs, Gordon Parks knew the fragility of life and never took it for granted. He knew all of it was a gift to be celebrated. During his 60 year-long career, Parks was a film director, a writer, a poet, a composer, as well as a photographer. He photographed everything from poverty to wealth, power to obscurity, activists like Malcolm X to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe. His biggest contributions, however, and what he should be remembered most for, are the choices he made. He chose not to fight with hatred. The deck was stacked against him from the day he was born and yet he lived by the lesson his mother told him over and over, “If a white boy can do it, so can you, so don’t ever give me your color as a cause for failing.” He saw a world that needed changing and he went about changing it. “I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did… most of whom were murdered or put in prison… but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so.” #gordonparks #reclaimthenarrative #reframe KayX
