His images were focused on race relations and the civil rights movement. In 1948 he became the first black person to work at Life magazine when he started as a staff photographer. It was during his time at Life magazine that he created his most well-known works. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parks took photographs, made films, published writing, and composed music until his death in 2006.
