Red looking for rival gang 1948

"Red looking for rival gang" is a powerful black and white photograph taken by Gordon Parks in 1948. This iconic image captures a young African American man, looking out a broken window, holding a cigarette in his hand. The dramatic use of light and shadow adds to the sense of tension and danger, reflecting the realities of urban life in the 1940s. Parks, a pioneering figure in photojournalism, was known for his ability to document the lives of marginalized communities. This photograph is a poignant example of his work.
