As a teenager, Gordon Parks was drawn to photograp As a teenager, Gordon Parks was drawn to photography from seeing images of migrant workers in a magazine. He bought his first camera from a pawn shop for $7.50 and taught himself how to take photos. Gordon went on to freelance for Ebony and Glamour and became the first Black photographer to shoot for Vogue and Life magazines. Always evolving, his work spanned topics from discrimination and poverty to fashion and entertainment. In his lifetime he received more than fifty honorary doctorates, and in 1988 was awarded with a National Medal of the Arts. #blackbeautyhistory
