Rally's End after 1963

Gordon Parks's "Rally's End" (after 1963) is a poignant photograph capturing the aftermath of a Civil Rights demonstration. The image shows a park littered with discarded signs and leaflets, a powerful visual reminder of the energy and passion of the movement. A lone woman walks through the debris, her figure dwarfed by the vast expanse of discarded materials, highlighting the collective effort and the potential for further action. Parks's black and white photography style reinforces the somber mood and underscores the seriousness of the civil rights struggle. The image is a testament to the power of photography to document historical events and inspire social change.
