Parks' Story submitted by howarde on August 18, 2020, 10:32am I got this book accidentally, looking for a book of Parks' photographs. However, it would be a great book to give to kids so they can learn about Parks. This focuses more on Parks' photographs of racial inequality, rather than the fashion photography he was also known for. The drawings are gorgeous and the story inspiring.
