I work in Los Angeles, and have lived elsewhere and done many surprising things.

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.

I know where to find this piece, feel free to contact me by replying here. I will receive a notification that you have.
