- Title
Anti-Black Racial Violence and Popular Culture in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
- Authors
Stamilio, Anthony
- Abstract
With #saytheirnames, the 2020 Black Lives Matters movement implores the national public to etch the names of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor into their consciousness. The fight for racial justice is a fight for attention in American popular culture. Activists push for recognition of the right to Black life, celebrities attempt to shine their spotlights on justice initiatives, and public figures debate solutions to systemic racism. The immediacy of today's racial violence discourse parallels that of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
