Gordon Parks
Gordon Roger Alexander Buchanan Parks (November 30, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was an American photographer, composer, author, poet, and film director, who became prominent in U.S. documentary photojournalism in the 1940s through 1970s—particularly in issues of civil rights, poverty and African Americans—and in glamour photography. He is best remembered for his iconic photos of poor Americans during the 1940s (taken for a federal government project), for his photographic essays for ''Life'' magazine, and as the director of the films ''Shaft, Shaft's Big Score'' and the semiautobiographical ''The Learning Tree''.Parks was one of the first black American filmmakers to direct films within the Hollywood system, developing films relating the experience of slaves and struggling black Americans, and helping create the "blaxploitation" genre. [https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/descriptions-and-essays/ The National Film Registry] cites ''The Learning Tree'' as "the first feature film by a black director to be financed by a major Hollywood studio."
