Blood Memory (2016)
Blood Memory, builds upon the anti-lynching dramas created and developed by Black women in the early 1900s. Blood Memory was created as a direct response to our current racial climate and offers students accessible and relatable material with which to critically analyze socio-political issues. In doing so, Blood Memory asks how Black women are uniquely affected by state-sanctioned violence against their bodies, thereby also addressing current socio-political events and expressions of violence against Black bodies in popular culture.
