Evoking His Name ~ Michael Brown: A Son of Ferguson, Missouri

Thanks Charina Nadura of Bill Moyers for bringing artist/activist Molly Crabapple’s video to my inbox.

Nikky Finney says her responsibility as a poet, an artist is not to look away.  We all have that responsibility as humans sharing this planet. It is devastatingly hard.

Molly Crabapple did an astounding job using animation to depict the story of Michael Brown’s death three months ago and the activism that rose from it. I’ve never seen animation to top this. With clarity and compassion. Michael Brown is one of many dying by police violence. Still. Don’t look away,
