Two scholar-artists will share their experience with translating historical research to a graphic form. Rachel Williams recently published two books, Run Home If You Don't Want to Be Killed: The Detroit Uprising of 1943 (University of North Carolina Press), which uses incorporating firsthand accounts collected by the NAACP, and Elegy for Mary Turner (Penguin Randomhouse), a haunting depiction of American racial violence and lynching. Hill, who directs the African and African American Studies Department at the University of Oklahoma, co-authored The Murder of Emmett Hill (Oxford University Press), which incorporates recent research with suggestions for how to effectively use the graphic history in the classroom. They'll be joined by comics scholar Julian Chambliss.
