The depth and breadth of the works displayed by the Grand Rapids Art Museum continues to expand with a new exhibition of works by one of the first African-American photographers to gain international repute.
According to excerpts from the story:
GRAND RAPIDS, MI.- Organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the exhibition America: Black and White consists of thirty-four photographs, including rare vintage prints recently acquired by the museum.
The exhibition coincides with the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s "I Have a Dream" speech of August 28, 1963, delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. A rare Parks photograph of King giving the speech is in the museum’s collection and included in the exhibition.
