Just watched this documentary about Gordon Parks....A must see! I often share this stuff on Facebook, but it seems like my posts are buried....never to be seen. This is such an important documentary about Gordon Parks, who challenged racism and confronted America with the truth.
I learned so much more about the famous photo American Gothic and who the woman was in the photo....and he dug deeper into who Ella Watson was. Gordon Parks and Ella Watson
The documentary is available on HBO/MAX
I believe this was Easter Sunday after church and it looks like they were in a car passing 5th Ave and 53rd Street. This Easter (2019) I went back to the very corner to take a photo.
I have been going through old negatives and what I believe it was Easter Sunday April 1, 1956. The family church was Bethany Baptist Church located in Bedford Stuyvesant.
I am using Dijifi.com to have my photos digitally formatted.
