About A Harlem Family 1967
When A Harlem Family, Gordon Parkss story about race and poverty in America featuring the Fontenelle family of Harlem was published inLIFEin March 1968, the response was overwhelming. Many people, touched and moved by Parkss images and text about the Fontenelles, wanted to help. The editors ofLIFEreceived letters and donations on behalf of the family from large cities and small towns across the country. Not all of the responses were positive; many echoed much of the debate and turmoil that was boiling in this country in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
