"Kitshe, Artifact, Collection: The Lynching Photography of "Without Sanctuary" with Natasha Barnes

This talk explores the making of the Allen/Littlefield "Without Sanctuary" collection of lynching postcards and its transformation as a museum exhibit. Drawing upon scholarship on material culture and possessions, Barnes investigates the circulation and reinscription of lynching postcards that began as white supremacist mementos of racial violence and have accrued new meanings through exhibition practice.

    History classes in our time truly did us a disservice. I pray history does not repeat itself.

    I commend the professor for taking the necessary courage to bring this further into the light. I too have been wanting to purchase the book and will do so regardless of the price, as this needs to be taught and memorialized. It is very frustrating to hear other groups talk about their pain, and we're always told to 'forget' our pain and that it's in the past. The sins of the father are being un-covered, leaving no stone unturned.

    My great, great grandpa had a jar of teeth he passed down, I now own it. He owned a Mississippi plantation, the teeth were from slaves that acted up, he had a thing for knocking they're teeth out. He would shake the jar loudly to keep them in order. Shaking the jar meant new teeth were to be added.

    Dr. Joy DeGruy, author of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, should have presented this information. Her commentary would have been much more on point and insightful! This woman sounds like she's struggling to be careful not to ruffle feathers!
