Reviews"In this particular historical moment when young Black people are engaged in a renewed struggle against state violence, Mary Turner's story resonates. She insists that we #SayHerName too." --Mariame Kaba, founder and director of Project NIA, from the preface, "In this particular historical moment when young Black people are engaged in a renewed struggle against state violence, Mary Turner's story resonates. She insists that we #SayHerName too." --Mariame Kaba, founder and director of Project NIA, from the introduction "Harrowing ... This succinct work confronts readers with atrocity, in a necessary tribute." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Retells the story [of Mary Turner's murder] in a manner at once unflinching, and, at turns, delicate. The delicacy is owed to Williams' rendering." --Rosalind Bentley, Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Essential ... Williams doesn't just deplore unspeakable evil or try to argue with it. She confronts it in its own realm--the realm of art." -- Etelka Lehoczky, NPR Books " Elegy for Mary Turner brings America's brutal history of 20th century lynching alive through Mary Turner." -- Bill Berkowitz, BuzzFlash, "In this particular historical moment when young Black people are engaged in a renewed struggle against state violence, Mary Turner's story resonates. She insists that we #SayHerName too." --Mariame Kaba, founder and director of Project NIA, from the introduction

SynopsisA lyrical and haunting depiction of American racial violence and lynching, evoked through stunning full-color artwork In late May 1918 in Valdosta, Georgia, ten Black men and one Black woman--Mary Turner, eight months pregnant at the time--were lynched and tortured by mobs of white citizens. Through hauntingly detailed full-color artwork and collage, Elegy for Mary Turner names those who were killed, identifies the killers, and evokes a landscape in which the NAACP investigated the crimes when the state would not and a time when white citizens baked pies and flocked to see Black corpses while Black people fought to make their lives--and their mourning--matter. Included are contributions from C. 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.
