For the first time in US history, legislators, representing the American people, classified lynching as a federal hate crime. While lynching histories and memories have received attention among communication scholars and some interdisciplinary studies of traditional civil rights memorials exist, contemporary studies often fail to examine the politicized nature of the spaces. This volume represents the first investigation of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum, both of which strategically make clear the various links between America's history of racial terror and contemporary mass incarceration conditions, the mistreatment of juveniles, and capital punishment. This book focuses on several key social agents and organizations that played vital roles in the public and legal consciousness raising that finally led to the passage of the act. Marouf A. Hasian Jr. and Nicholas S. Paliewicz argue that the advocacy of attorney Bryan Stevenson, the work of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), and the efforts of curators at Montgomery's new Legacy Museum all contributed to the formation of a rhetorical culture that set the stage at last for this hallmark lynching legislation. The authors examine how the EJI uses spaces of remembrance to confront audiences with race-conscious messages and measure to what extent those messages are successful"--Publisher's description. 505 00 $g Conclusion: $t The future of "race-conscious" memorialization in twenty-first-century America. $t "The blood of lynching victims is in the soil" : Reconstruction horrors and post-Reconstruction peonage -- $t The progressives, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett, and the multiple racisms that marked Jim Crow segregation -- $t "By parties unknown" : the successes and failures of anti-lynching campaigns before World War II -- $t Post-World War II civil rights activism, photojournalism, and the domestication of civil rights lynching memories -- $t Bryan Stevenson, the formation of the Equal Justice Initiative, and the fight against the "stepchild of lynching" -- $t EJI critiques of Confederate statuary, Dixie monumentalization, and Charlottesville legacies -- $t Participatory rhetorics at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and Legacy Museum -- $t The EJI, the Legacy Museum, and "postgenocide" America -- $g Conclusion: $t The future of "race-conscious" memorialization in twenty-first-century America. 610 20 $a Equal Justice Initiative. 610 10 $a United States. $t Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2019. 610 27 $a Equal Justice Initiative. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01932775 650 0 $a Lynching $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Lynching $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Hate crime investigation $z United States. 650 0 $a Racism in popular culture $z United States. 650 7 $a Hate crime investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951872 650 7 $a Lynching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01004334 650 7 $a Lynching $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01004336 650 7 $a Racism in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086660 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Paliewicz, Nicholas S., $e author. 830 0 $a Race, rhetoric, and media series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0C9778AC177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
