Parks featured in 'Kansas'

The Gordon Parks Museum and Center for Culture and Diversity at Fort Scott Community College is featured in the winter 2010 edition of KANSAS! magazine, published by the Kansas Department of Commerce.

In the feature titled "65 Reasons We Love Kansas," Parks is listed as No. 14 of 65 and is prominently featured on the page with a photo taken by former Fort Scott photographer Michael Henry, courtesy of Captured Images Photography.

KANSAS! magazine was first published in 1945 and has been sharing the varied culture, history and landscape of the state for 65 years. Published four times a year, the magazine showcases Kansas people, places and events.

"We are very pleased that the Gordon Parks Museum is highlighted in this issue of KANSAS! magazine," said Jill Warford, director of the center. "It is another testament to the rich legacy that Gordon Parks left to Fort Scott and the entire state."

KANSAS! magazine may be purchased locally at the Country Cupboard, 12 N. Main St., or online at www.kansasmag.com.
