Overall, I can conclude/believe that Gordan Parks’ photography is more powerful in conveying the clear message of segregation and apartheid.

The main concern that may not emphasize his own power, is that Mr.Parks was simply a bystander, taking photos and observing a situation. Even though this may have sparked some change, or it certainly is key now- this did not make any change; while Mrs.Stockett, though fiction, tried to find some sort of a solution. The combination, however, of fiction, and no solution aside from producing a book which drove people apart did not successfully express the problems of racism and segregation in the 1960’s. Gordan Parks’ photography is extremely successful at highlighting the key problems in different situations and sparking emotion through his photographs. Gordan Park’s worked with life in order to bring the issue up to the white level, highlighting both the problems and issues with the olden segregated world.

Coloured people were just considered inferior, not a problem back in that time. Gordan Parks’ is one of the few who really stood up in his time to fight for equality. As a black man, getting a job as a photographer in the life magazine (a top magazine in those days) and being able to highlight the issues of sergreation through his photos. These photos leave a memory residue, and you can recall photos due to the dire and highlighted situation. Mr.Stockett however, is just someone who is writing a novel in 2009, about a fiction story in 1960- which does not correctly highlight issues that were present. The help and Gordan Parks’ equally had a look at the power roles, alongside racism whereas, Gordan Parks’ got to know his subjects, and highlighted many different areas and situations. Mrs.Stocketts view of a white person fighting for black gives the impression that black people cannot stand up for themselves, which can be considered racist in itself. The story
