New Resources: Oscar Grant, Chicago Red Summer, and Danzinger Bridge Shootings

People who don’t know me well sometimes ask when I have time to sleep. The short answer is that I am an insomniac so I don’t. But frankly, who wants to sleep when there is so much interesting work to do in the world in collaboration with so many amazing people? 🙂

Justice for Oscar Grant by Chris Stain

I am excited today to share three new publications that are part of the Historical Moments of Policing, Violence, and Resistance series which I continue to work on.

Olivia Perlow and Lakeesha Harris revisit the Oscar Grant killing. The pamphlet is designed by the talented, Antonia Clifford. Special thanks to Chris Stain for allowing us to use his art work on the cover of the publication.

Elizabeth Dadabo takes us back to 1919 to explore Red Summer in Chicago. The pamphlet is designed by the talented, Madeleine Arenivar.

by Billy Dee

My friend, the uber-talented Billy Dee collaborates with me to offer an account of the Danzinger Bridge shootings that took place in New Orleans in 1995 during Hurricane Katrina.

You can download each publication at no cost HERE.

Stay tuned next month as new pamphlets are released…
