Martin Parr's assistant says it was on the 18 year old black woman who protested the racism in the book he had republished to email Parr.

Black people are absent from @martinparrfdn events. No-one should wonder why.
I did not know he was his assistant during this exchange. He did not declare this to me. Perhaps @louis_little can also clear up why Guardian article says 'at the time, Parr apologised for offence caused'. He did not. And when he did months later it was hidden from his timeline.
Whilst someone from @martinparrfdn is engaging (at last a year on) can we also talk why Martin decided to keep the text of a known pedophile in the book?
Can we also ask why as art director of @BRSphotofest he picked Lua Riberia to represent the city built on slavery, where Colston was recently dumped in the docks, given this work? Which was shot as part of her documentary work on Dancehall culture? #docphoto #noisesintheblood
I think these conversations need to be had in the open @louis_little. Powerful men like Martin Parr don't.

I've never met him by the way. My only interest was his contempt for a black teenager. If he wants to email I am [email protected] and I will publish his response.
Oh yeah. Also ask him if he was really concerned about the racism in the book why his publisher is STILL selling Martin Parr signed copies?

See for yourself. @louis_little
