Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.’s church fans bear the names of 134 individuals killed while working
Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.’s church fans bear the names of 134 individuals killed while working for civil rights in the United States from 1946 to 1968. The names are printed on fans that one might find distributed in Southern churches during a hot summer service. Kennedy printed the names of these Americans to remember and venerate the individuals who sacrificed their lives in the fight against racial segregation, disenfranchisement and economic inequality in America. These will be on view as part of a MoMA Library exhibition of Kennedy’s prints next month. -- source link
