Looking Up Hancock St. Gordon Parks 1937 / Joey C 2015
Hancock St looking up toward City Hall Gloucester from Rogers Street. Bottom right in the photo would be Topside Grill and bottom left in the photo would be Turtle Ally. Gordon Parks was a black man who died in 2006 at age 93. He directed the movie Shaft and was a photographer for Life magazine. I find it interesting that a black man in 1943 was roaming the country taking photos that would be acclaimed.
