Gordon Parks: SHAFTED

I got to meet Mr. Parks in 91 or 92 while i was in attending Quaker Valley High..

Me, as well as everyone else there being a naive white and black kids from the suburbs. We thought we were just meeting some poet from somewhere far away from us telling us stories about things we couldn't recognize then. Dumb move.

It was later in college i made a huge discovery in the form of Richard Roundtree as the immortal SHAFT.
I never got to ask Gordon the many questions I had for him and still do about the films and his filmaking process.

Well Mr. Parks, I guess I'll hold my questions till after class.
yours truly,
