Segregation

Adamson Gallery is proud to present an exhibit of photography by Gordon Parks, one of the twentieth century's foremost documentarians of American life. This exhibition features a selection of images from Segregation Story, Parks's powerful 1956 photographic series, which documented an extended African American family in segregated Alabama. Originally commissioned for a September 1956 issue of Life Magazine, this series is an intimate portrayal of one family's perseverance through racial and economic subjugation in the Jim Crow South.
