Gordon Parks, one of the most celebrated African American artists of his time, is the subject of this exhibition of groundbreaking photographs of Fort Scott, Kansas--focusing on the realities of life under segregation during the 1940s, but also relating to Parks' own fascinating life story.

Gordon Parks: Back to Fort Scott was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The Wichita presentation of Freedom to Expand: Gordon Parks is generously sponsored by Emprise Bank, Gridley Family Foundation, and the Kansas Humanities Council.

This exhibition is funded in part by the Kansas Humanities Council, a nonprofit cultural organization promoting understanding of the history, traditions, and ideas that shape our lives and build community. 

On view in the John W. and Mildred L. Graves Gallery and Louise and S.O. Beren Gallery
