After two long years of virtual celebration, the Gordon Parks Foundation’s annual gala has returned stronger than ever.
Gordon Parks Foundation’s annual gala
The Gordon Parks Foundation began in 2006 with the efforts of Parks himself and his trusted friend and colleague, Philip Kunhardt Jr. a former editor ofmagazine. The mission behind the foundation is clear; Parks's life and purpose were dedicated to amplifying Black life and bringing awareness to a racial divide via photography. Dinner attendees included Leonardo DiCaprio, Anderson Cooper, Questlove, Gayle King and Lynn Nottage.
The program at last night’s benefit consisted of a performance by Black Thought of The Legendary Roots Crew, remarks from Leslie Parks , and the celebration of honorees who are pioneers and champions in art highlighting Black life. Those five individuals included: Spike and Tonya Lee, Darren Walker, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Mark Bradford. All represent Parks's vision of creating a future that doesn't look past racial injustice but challenges it head-on.
