CHANGING LIVES
In 1961, Parks did a series for LIFE on the slums of Brazil and found himself in
what he describes as "dead center in the worst poverty I have ever encountered
in the favela of Catacumba, a desolate mountainside outside of Rio de
Janeiro." In true Parks fashion, instead of giving a broad view without much
depth, he focused on an individual affected by the larger story, just as he had
done with Red Jackson, from the Harlem gang series.At just 12, Flavio da Silva
was already dying, from tuberculosis. Flavio lived with his parents, brothers and
sisters in a one-room shack. The images Parks created while living with the da
Silva family illustrated the family's reliance on their dying son. "What Flavio
cared most about," says Parks, "was that his younger brothers and sisters were
taken care of. It was very noble of him. . . . I definitely learned more from Flavio
about character than Flavio learned from me."After the story ran, LIFE readers
contributed money to help with Flavio's medical care. Parks says that people
sent in roughly $30,000 to bring Flavio to America. "I went back to Brazil and
the doctors told me that Flavio would die on my hands if I took him to America.I
took him anyway and after living there for two years, he was cured." When
Flavio went back home to Brazil, Parks bought Flavio's father a new truck with
the money everyone had sent in, and then LIFE donated $25,000 so that Parks
could help the family buy a new home.
