Intussen, in het leven van Gordon Parks
Het hele leven1948–1972
Photographs Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Barbra Streisand
In more than twenty years at Life he photographs fashion, sports, Broadway, poverty and racial segregation, as well as portraits of Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Barbra Streisand. Malcolm X asks him to be the godfather of his daughter Qubilah Shabazz.
1950s

In the 1950s he works as a consultant on various Hollywood productions; he will later direct a series of documentaries on Black ghetto life commissioned by National Educational Television.
1956
Photo essay “The Restraints: Open and Hidden”
Life publishes his photo essay on the effects of racial segregation, following the everyday lives of three families — the Thorntons, Causeys and Tanners — in and near Mobile, Alabama. Instead of demonstrations, boycotts and brutality, he emphasises the prosaic details of their lives.
