Kansas University’s School of Journalism will give the William Allen White Award to Gordon Parks, the noted photojournalist, author and filmmaker from Fort Scott. The honor will be presented during William Allen White Day, Friday, Feb. 10, on KU’s campus.

Parks, 93, will be unable to attend the ceremony. CBS will prepare a video, including an interview of Parks and footage from “CBS Sunday Morning” shows about Parks, to be shown during the ceremony.

The program also will include a panel of photojournalists who will discuss the role of photojournalism in early American life.
