During their year-long residency, these bright young artists will immerse themselves in the legacy of Harlem and the Studio Museum, cultivate their unique visions and join a lineage of more than a hundred participants of the Artist-in-Residence program. We’ve asked Sadie, Lauren and Eric to introduce us to their creative processes and give a little insight into the work they will be making in the coming months.

  • News Release George Floyd Justice in Policing
    Fortified by the Past… Focused on the Future RELEASE FOR: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2021 CONTACT: Tkeban X.T. Jahannes (404) 944-1615 | [email protected] Civil Rights Leaders Call on Congress To Pass George Floyd Justice In Policing Act Today, civil rights leaders called on the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act – a critical step to holding law enforcement accountable for unconstitutional and unethical conduct. The 2020 killing of George Floyd sparked a year of national protests in all 50 states calling for an end to police brutality against Black and Brown communities and a demand for accountability in every sector of law enforcement. Addressing this nation’s history of violent, discriminatory policing requires passing legislation that advances systemic reforms rooted in transparency and accountability. It is the responsibility of the federal government to set standards on justice, policing, and safety. A vital step in this process is the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which recognizes the importance of stripping law enforcement of qualified immunity; creating a national registry of police misconduct complaints; declaring prohibitions for law enforcement profiling; limiting the transfer of military-grade equipment to state and local law enforcement; and restricting funds from law enforcement agencies that do not prohibit the use of chokeholds. “The killing of George Floyd held a mirror up to a truth about the American legal system. It showed us in the most stark and irrefutable way, that there are deep, fundamental problems with how this country allows law enforcement to intimidate, abuse, torture, and kill unarmed Black people.

Race Prominent Feature in Coverage of Trayvon Martin Abstract This textual analysis examines news framing of the shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. After studying coverage from The Sanford Herald (North Carolina), The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and The Denver Post, the authors conclude national media perpetuated racial stereotypes, thus heightening the issue of race and making the case more emotional than factual. Readers outside of Sanford, N.C., had few details about the physical altercation, the heart of Zimmerman’s self-defense claim.

  • 1 As Leaders of the Civil Rights Organizations Listed Below, We Write
    October 30, 2018 Attorney General Sessions U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Attorney General Sessions: As leaders of the civil rights organizations listed below, we write in response to the recent horrific hate crimes that occurred last week. Just this past Saturday, the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh was the victim of a shooting during Sabbath services which left 11 worshippers dead. This anti-Semitic attack followed a week in which frequent, prominent leaders who were critics of President Trump were victims of multiple attempted bombing attacks by an alleged supporter of the President. Just a few days ago, an armed gunman tried to enter an African- American church in Kentucky, just before killing two separate Black grandparents in a Kroger parking lot. Earlier this month, members of the “Proud Boys” led a violent assault on protesters in New York City while shouting bigoted slurs. These incidents are the latest in the wave of hate crimes that have increased exponentially over the last two years across the United States. Indeed, in its annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, the Anti-Defamation League reports a 60 percent surge in hate crimes since 2017.1 The Southern Poverty Law Center found that the number of hate groups in the United States in 2017 rose to 953 from 912 in 2016.2 We raised the issue of hate crimes with you directly during an in- person meeting in March 2017 at your offices. These incidents are all too familiar to the African-American community which has been the target of hate-related crimes throughout United States history.
