The Gordon Parks Foundation in Chappaqua, N.Y., has accepted a proposal from Wichita State University to receive the collected papers of deceased photographer, author, filmmaker, composer and Kansas native Gordon Parks.

'Gordon would have been very pleased to know that his papers will reside at Wichita State University,' said Peter Kunhardt, president of the Gordon Parks Foundation. 'Under the leadership of Ted Ayres, a comprehensive plan is now in place to permanently place his personal papers and make them available to the public.'"
