Clothing jumps out and much as I remembered those days.
A stunning set of photographs taken by famed African-American photographer Gordon Parks during segregation in the 1950s are set to go on display later this month.
The
collection, called The Restraints: Open and Hidden, follows the lives
of three families living in and around downtown Mobile, Alabama in 1956,
and show how they went about their daily routine in a town separated by
race with children at their side.
Rediscovered in 2012, six years after he died of cancer at the age of 93, these photos will be shown at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia beginning this Saturday.
