He was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Roxie and William Parker. After serving in World War II as a U.S. Army sergeant, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from American University. In 1947, Parker became a career Foreign Service Officer, serving in Liberia, Nigeria, and Spain.〔(''Ebony'', October 1962 )〕 On a year's leave, he enrolled in the African Studies Program at Boston University. While there, he sought to rent a house in Lexington, but was rebuffed by the owner Mark Moore, Jr. His case led to a civil rights movement protest on the Lexington Battle Green.〔J. Anthony Lucas, ''Common Ground'', pp. 96-99.〕
Parker later served in Douala and Yaoundé, Cameroon where he was Consul General and later Deputy Chief of Mission. His last overseas assignment was in La Paz, Bolivia where he was again Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'affaires. He also served as Desk Officer for Central Africa.〔
