The original publication featured nine articles commissioned by \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine from 1963 to 1970 supplemented with later commentary by Parks and presented as his personal account of these important historical moments. \u003ci\u003eBorn Black\u003c\/i\u003e includes the original text and images, as well as additional photographs from each series, spreads from the 1971 book, early correspondence and reproductions of related \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e articles.\u003cbr\u003eThe nine series included in \u003ci\u003eBorn Black\u003c\/i\u003e include a rare glimpse inside San Quentin State Prison; extensive documentation of the Black Muslim movement and the Black Panthers; his commentaries on the deaths of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.; intimate portrait studies of Stokely Carmichael, Muhammad Ali and Eldridge Cleaver; and a narrative of the daily life of the impoverished Fontenelle family in Harlem.
