'you are a legitimate phenomenon.' from deanna

Emmett can't help but laugh, humoured by the surprising good-naturedness between what would otherwise, from the mouth of just about anyone else, have been intended as a thinly-veiled and far less creative insult.

❝I wouldn't go that far, but that's one of the kinder ways anyone has ever tried to tell me that I'm crazy.❞ His grin suggests that he's not the least bit offended. ❝I've had to pick up a number of skills over the years for my work, but this❞—he ties the knot off expertly, giving the rope a test tug to confirm it'll hold—❝I picked up when I was a little boy.❞

In yesterday’s newsletter, I noted the murder of Emmett Till as an event whose significance took decades to fully understand. When I wrote that sentence, I hesitated and considered adding a reference to the murders of civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner. The bodies of all three civil rights workers were discovered in a field in Mississippi on August 4, 1964—fifty-nine years ago today.

          To keep my introduction to yesterday’s newsletter short, I omitted the reference to Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner. On Thursday, Andrew Goodman’s brother David reached out to remind me of the 59th anniversary of the deaths of three brave young men who traveled south to help register Black voters disenfranchised by Jim Crow laws. Their fearless dedication to democracy ended in their brutal murders at the hands of the local KKK chapter in Neshoba County, Mississippi.

           Their martyrdom touched a nerve in America. The illustrator Norman Rockwell sought to capture the brutality of their murders in one of his most important works, “Murders in Mississippi,” aka “Southern Justice.” My wife and I recently visited the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where I took the photo included below.

          The oil painting has a complicated history that is relevant to the struggle for civil rights in America. Norman Rockwell spent his career as an illustrator for The Saturday Evening Post, but left in 1963 because of the Post’s rule that limited Rockwell to painting Black people “only in subservient positions.” At Look Magazine, Rockwell began to explore the issue of civil rights. He painted “Murders in Mississippi / Southern Justice” to accompany an article about the murders of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney that inspired a generation of young people to take up the cause of civil rights.

          In the end, Look Magazine published an early pencil sketch that was more impressionistic and less visceral than the final oil painting. The oil painting hangs in the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. It is easy to see why the final version may have been too realistic for the readers of Look Magazine in 1964.

          Many Americans may not be able to recall the names Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Michael Schwerner, but they know their story. They know that young Americans of all colors and creeds risked their lives to take a stand for equality and liberty. They know that the bravery of those early “freedom marchers” resulted in tremendous progress in civil rights for all Americans.

          Each of us follows in the footsteps of people like Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Hosea Williams, Coretta Scott King, and others too numerous to name. When we write letters, send postcards, make calls, march in solidarity, knock on doors, and show up at the polls, we are following the example of the faithful servants of democracy who preceded us.

          While few of us are called to make sacrifices similar to Goodman, Chaney, Schwerner, King, and Lewis, some are willing to take on work that is uncomfortable and possibly confrontational as we strive to “get out the vote.” I was reminded of this fact by reader Lori E. from Indianapolis, who sent the following note about her experiences phone banking to get out the vote in Ohio:

Hello Robert:  I want to thank you for sending the link for phone banks with Ohio Progressive Action Leaders.  I phone banked with them the last 2 nights, and my last call of the night last night was over the moon for me, and I have phone banked my guts out for the last several years.  I thought this woman was wanting to lead me into an argument about Issue 1, but she really didn't know what it was about, and I explained to her in detail why it is bad for everyone - especially the 88-county requirement, which is considerably more horrifying than the 60% requirement.  She wanted to know why Issue 1 was brought before Ohio voters, and I told her the truth.  Her big concern was term limits, and I told her that is something everyone wants to see on each side of the aisle, and that - as well as so many other citizen-led initiatives - were almost certain to never make it to a ballot if Issue 1 passes.  One conversation like that is exactly what makes an entire phone bank worthwhile for me.  She is also concerned about her children and what kind of country they will live in, and I told her that she simply must vote no then. It was one of those moments when I'm pretty certain I reached a person that I convinced to vote.  At the end of the conversation, she thanked me and said, “I know you probably don't hear this enough, but I'm so grateful you called and explained this to me.” I thanked her for making my entire evening phenomenal.  It truly was a magical moment. 

          Lori E.—like each of us—is honoring the sacrifices of the civil rights workers who faced danger, hatred, and violence to carry us to this point. Being able to reach voters by phonebanks, texts, and postcards is a privilege that we exercise because of those who came before us.

We can beat Trump, take control of Congress, and recapture state legislatures and statehouses in 2024. It will be hard. It will require sacrifice. But our sacrifice is a small repayment of the greater sacrifice of those who secured our freedom with their lives.

          Andrew Goodman’s legacy lives on in the good work of the Andrew Goodman Foundation, which supports youth leadership development, voting accessibility, and social justice initiatives on campuses across the country.

[terrovaniadorm]

..... Your honor, you don't understand, I've been brainrotting Vic and Emmett together—

A h e m— Vic and Emmett in their respective Halloween costumes doing God knows what! They could be aggressively flirting for all I know /j /j

I haven't really assigned Vic a costume, so I'm honestly fine with her just wearing the Pomefiore Vampire outfit like how you did the art of her and Hecate 🫶

[HALLOWEEN EVENT - CLOSED]

Emmett had a different costume idea but it was too tempting, Victoria might find it annoying but that's what he does best: annoying people.
