EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Gordon Parks in 1943, we are transported to a significant moment in history. The image showcases Mr. James A. Colston, the esteemed president of Bethune-Cookman College, engaged in an intimate conversation with his father. The setting is warm and inviting, with a grand fireplace mantel adorned by a chimneypiece clock serving as the backdrop for their fireside chat. As they converse, one can sense the weight of administrative problems plaguing Mr. Colston's mind while he seeks guidance from his wise father. This powerful snapshot not only captures a personal family moment but also symbolizes the struggles faced by African Americans during that era. It serves as a reminder of the challenges endured by individuals like Mr. Colston who dedicated themselves to education and empowerment within historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Gordon Parks masterfully immortalizes this pivotal exchange between father and son through his lens, highlighting their strong bond amidst adversity. The film negative print adds depth to the image, enhancing its historical significance. Displayed proudly at the Congressional Library within the hallowed halls of America's heritage art collection at the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as a testament to resilience and determination against all odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of both our past struggles and our potential for progress as a nation united under shared values such as education and family bonds.
