The Frisco Renaissance: Civil Rights Movement in Photos

If you didn't document it, then in the minds of men it didn't happen

Why I Picked up a Camera.

Quotes from the Renaissance:

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself.

-- Gordon Parks
