I was invited to add my essay on "Comics and Emmett Till" to the archives of The Emmett Till Project, a digital platform commemorating the legacy of the murder of Emmett Louis Till by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. You can read a PDF of my essay and listen to a short podcast interview with me and project curator Myriah Towner. (There are a lot of other terrific resources on the site by scholars such as Courtney Baker and poet Akeema Zane.) I'm really honored to add my voice to the public memory surrounding Till's tragic death and I hope my essay can be of some benefit to others. |
