Gordon Parks talks about incidents from his life, his mother, working as a waiter on the railroad, becoming a photographer, getting along with gang members, how he came to become a novelist. He speaks in a slow, hesitant manner, saying things that are evident to him, but taking care to phrase them in a way that will make sense to others. It's the story of a man who made his way slowly from the son of a poor dirt farmer to the director of a movie for MGM.
It's the story of a man who, if he has something he thinks worth saying, I'm more than willing to listen.
