Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Creative Productivity
5 Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Creative Productivity The publication of Between the World and Me on July 14, 2015, cata- pulted Ta- Nehisi Coates into the realm of nationally renowned author. He had been increasingly gaining public notice since the publication of his Atlantic articles “Fear of a Black President” (2012) and “The Case for Reparations” (2014). The publication of Between the World and Me, though, ensured him national and international acclaim as a writer and cultural figure. The book appeared on the New York Times best- seller list on August 2 and remained there for sixty- five weeks. More than one hundred review- ers and commentators published assessments of Between the World and Me, which was awarded the National Book Award for Nonfiction, and Coates enjoyed one of the most remarkable receptions a black author had gained in the history of African American writing.1 The extraordinary acclaim that Coates received based on his relatively short book overshadowed his massive corpus of online writings. There are available systems—book reviews, college courses, common reading pro- grams, and prestigious awards—for studying, discussing, and elevating books such as Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, Coates’s Between the World and Me, and Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. Those 134 BLACK BOYS systems far outmatch the possibilities for appraising comparatively suc- cinct, concentrated compositions like blog entries and news articles. Yet those short compositions serve indispensable roles in raising collective consciousness about current events. In particular, our understanding of the shooting deaths of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and Mike Brown in 2014 owes special debts to the creative productivity of Coates’s blogging and Trymaine Lee’s reporting. -

Roberts Memorial Fund was established in 1955 to provide support for medical students and residents to complete projects in the field of social psychiatry. The Yale Afro-American Cultural Center, established in 1969, serves to foster a vibrant community of Black scholar-leaders and others who are committed to preserving and promoting the historical, cultural, intellectual and social movement traditions of the African Diaspora at Yale, in New Haven, and throughout the world.

In Pursuit of Peace: Building Police-Community Trust to Break
IN PURSUIT OF PEACE Building Police-Community Trust to Break the Cycle of Violence JANUARY 2020 Welcome In Pursuit of Peace: Building Police-Community Trust to Break the Cycle of Violence focuses on the importance of community trust in just and effective policing—and the deleterious and self-perpetuating cycles of violence that result when communities are both over-policed and under- protected. As In Pursuit of Peace makes clear, to address the scourge of community gun violence that kills thousands of Americans and wounds tens of thousands more in our cities each year, we must implement reforms focused on building up this trust. While this report does not and could not cover all aspects of criminal justice or policing reform, we hope that advocates, legislators, and the larger gun violence prevention movement find this to be a helpful overview of the important role of community trust in saving lives from gun violence. We know progress is possible: cities like Camden, New Jersey, and Stockton, California, are forging a hopeful path forward. I hope you’ll join us in lifting up the findings of this report and elevating the critical work of the many organizations—including the groups highlighted on the following page—who have been working for years to make our justice system more just and effective at protecting the life and dignity of all Americans. I also want to offer a special thank you to the Giffords Law Center staff who so dilligently researched and drafted this report: Ari Freilich, Ariel Lowrey, and Brittany Nieto. Together, we can make our cities safer places to live, work, and play, and assure all Americans receive the equal protection they deserve. -
Listening in a Time of War: on Violence, Peacemaking, and the Rhetoric of Listening
Listening in a Time of War: On Violence, Peacemaking, And the Rhetoric of Listening Bianca Hinz-Foley Trejo TC660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 6, 2016 _______________________________ Rasha Diab, Ph.D. Rhetoric and Writing Department Supervising Professor _______________________________ Jerome Bump, Ph.D. English Department Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Bianca Hinz-Foley Trejo Title: Listening in a Time of War: On Violence, Peacemaking, and the Rhetoric of Listening Supervising Professor: Dr. Rasha Diab, Ph.D. The U.S. state has murdered more Black men, women, trans, and gender queer people in 2015 than in the most deadly year of lynchings (Merelli). 2015 was in fact the deadliest year for trans women of color (Adams). And yet 2015 was also the year that Hillary Clinton began her campaign for president on a white feminist platform, which Black Lives Matter activists rightly called out for being racist. One year later, the sexual assault and murder of a white-passing UT student unleashed a flood of both white sympathy and anti-black symbolic violence. This thesis explores the violence than runs through our rhetoric, particularly as it relates to the intersections of race and gender, and wonders about the possibility for resisting symbolic violence and engaging peacemaking by listening with an intersectional lens. 2 Acknowledgements One day I was at Savers arguing with myself over whether or not to buy a 99 cent portfolio for my thesis because I didn’t know if I would ever actually finish it. A stranger overheard me and gave me $10 to treat myself when I finally turned in my thesis. -
