looking to purchase a print of the photo that has a mother and daughter in dresses with a sign that says “colored entrance”
I’m sorry Michael, I don’t know. The man took a LOT of photos in his life. I can’t find a place that sells that print after some searching.
I suggest you contact the Gordon Parks Foundation.
