Fifty years ago, the photographer Gordon Parks took to the streets of Harlem with his camera — and at times, Ralph Ellison — and changed the game for black photographers. In capturing the scene on the ground, and the likes of Malcolm X, he left a legacy that paved the way for Mickalene Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, and LaToya Ruby Frazier today, who've all come together to show their photographs alongside his in "Fifty Years After," an homage to both Parks and the Civil Rights Movement at James Barron Art in Kent, Connecticut until October. From Mae Weems's seminal celebration of the quotidian Kitchen Table Series to Ruby Frazier's modern-day documentation of an urban hospital demolished for budgetary reasons (only to be relocated to an affluent suburb), it's a striking portrait of being black in America that covers a full half-century.
