Black American Autobiographies expose the oppressive condition of the Blacks and the repressive tactics adopted by the whites against them. The protest of the Black Americans against marginalization, discrimination, exploitation, slavery, violence and torture, etc. is reflected in the Slave narratives and Black American autobiographies. Voices in the Mirror (1990) is the autobiography of Gordon Parks. An analysis of Park's autobiography shows a continuum of motifs of the Slave narratives and 18 th and 19 century Black American autobiographies. This paper is a humble attempt to substantiate how his autobiography is an authentic document of Black consciousness
