"Woman on Soapbox" is a powerful black and white photograph by Gordon Parks, taken after 1963. The image captures a woman speaking passionately to a crowd, her face animated and eyes filled with conviction. Her words seem to be a call to action, directed towards the "3 Hustlers" mentioned on the placard. This photograph exemplifies Parks' work as a photojournalist, focusing on social issues and the African American experience, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement.
