The Color Purple

Gordon Parks and Charles Moore used photography as a powerful tool to document the fight against racial segregation, injustice, and inequality in the U.S. Parks captured the daily struggles of African Americans, focusing on issues like poverty and the dual discrimination faced by women. Moore's work highlighted the most dramatic moments of the Civil Rights Movement, exposing violence against protesters. Both photographers played a crucial role in raising public awareness, using their cameras as weapons in the fight for justice and equal rights.
