I do not have the words to express what Gordon Parks has meant to me. He over came so much discrimination & racism to reach the pinnacle of success in the arts & literature. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a gallery exhibition of his photographic works. It left me humble & in complete awe. Rest well Gordon, in God’s beautiful light & among his angels. Thank you for inspiring millions of people throughout the world. (A wonderful video presentation.)😊🙏❤️

[@renemies78]

I only knew him as director. This video was so good. Moved me to tears by the end.

Gordon is a well respected native of Kansas and his image is on the sides of many buildings in small towns throughout the state for the reasons you’ve addressed here. Great bio video! Thank you. I’ve subscribed now so I’ll be able to catch your work.

[@thirtyfiveeyes]

Gordon is absolutely deserving of all of the recognition and respect he receives. He was a master at what he did and an icon. Thank you for the kind words and for subscribing! It means the world to me! Let me know if there are any photographers you'd like to see covered on the channel.
