April brings “The South in Color,” curated by photographer Dawoud Bey, at Atlanta gallery Jackson Fine Art. Focusing on Parks’s 1956 series “Segregation Story,” the exhibition brings to life an essay by Bey from the 2022 book Gordon Parks: Segregation Story (Expanded Edition), published by the foundation and Steidl. In that essay, Bey describes how Parks’s color photographs from the 1950s were often reproduced in black and white, obscuring his innovation within the medium.
