Fannie Lou Hamer in “March”: Part II

by Unknown's avatar

In the last post, I started looking at the ways that John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell depict Fannie Lou Hamer’s speech in front of the Credentials Committee at the Democratic National Convention in 1964. Today, I want to finish looking at that sequence, focusing on the latter part of Hamer’s speech and moving into her interaction with Hubert H. Humphrey later during … Read More Fannie Lou Hamer in “March”: Part II

Fannie Lou Hamer in “March”: Part I

by Unknown's avatar

In a recent post, I wrote about a couple of individuals and events that I wish the March Trilogy spent some more time exploring.

The Quotidian in Art Spiegelman’s “Maus”: Part II

by Unknown's avatar

In the previous post, I started looking at Art Spiegelman’s Maus and the ways that he focuses on individuals, not on the high ranking officials, who both perpetrated and survived the Holocaust. Along with this, Spiegelman highlights the ways that memory, especially as it relates to a traumatic event such as the Holocaust, is slippery in so many ways. I always think about George … Read More The Quotidian in Art Spiegelman’s “Maus”: Part II
