Logan, Kansas.- The Dane G. Hansen Memorial Museum is pleased to present “Gordon Parks: Crossroads” on view aat the museum through February 5th 2012. This fascinating exhibition features 45 memorable photographs drawn from all aspects of Parks’ storied career. “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 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.
