Join the Mulvane Art Museum for a talk about the work of iconic Black author, photographer, and filmmaker Gordon Parks. Photographer Ann Dean will discuss the impact and inspiration in his books "The Learning Tree", "A Choice of Weapons", and "Half Past Autumn". They illustrate Parks' mother's teachings centered in love, dignity, and hard work, and provide a starting point to talk about his struggles, choices, and triumphs- all great life lessons for those searching to find their way in this complicated world.
