Tyrone Forehand, great-grandnephew of Mary and Hayes Turner, whose family has long campaigned for the deaths to be remembered; abolitionist activist and educator Mariame Kaba, reflecting on the violence visited on Black women?s bodies; and historian Julie Buckner Armstrong, who opens a window onto the broader scale of lynching?s terror in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972043964704,"sku":"NEW1788739043","price":18.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71HsRBeLzNL.jpg?v=1783790181","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/elegy-for-mary-turner-an-illustrated-account-of-a-lynching-1788739043","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
